    9 Decorative Pottery at Prestongrange Jane Bonnar This analysis is complemented by the Prestoungrange Virtual Pottery Exhibition to be found on the Internet at http://www.prestoungrange.org PRESTOUNGRANGE UNIVERSITY PRESS http://www.prestoungrange.org FOREWORD This series of books has been specifically developed to provided an authoritative briefing to all who seek to enjoy the Industrial Heritage Museum at the old Prestongrange Colliery site. They are complemented by learning guides for educational leaders. All are available on the Internet at http://www.prestoungrange.org the Baron Court’s website. They have been sponsored by the Baron Court of Prestoungrange which my family and I re-established when I was granted access to the feudal barony in 1998. But the credit for the scholarship involved and their timeous appearance is entirely attributable to the skill with which Annette MacTavish and Jane Bonnar of the Industrial Heritage Museum service found the excellent authors involved and managed the series through from conception to benefit in use with educational groups. The Baron Court is delighted to be able to work with the Industrial Heritage Museum in this way. We thank the authors one and all for a job well done. It is one more practical contribution to the Museum’s role in helping its visitors to lead their lives today and tomorrow with a better understanding of the lives of those who went before us all. For better and for worse, we stand on their shoulders as we view and enjoy our lives today, and as we in turn craft the world of tomorrow for our children.

Scottish Water: supports the aims and objectives of the LDP and is committed to ensuring that adequate infrastructure is available to enable development in line with its responsibilities. Internal Consultees: ELC Countryside: Radical industrial developments are proposed which will affect quality of life dramatically. The two ideas for accommodating new house building will not serve the needs of the whole county well. Small housing developments throughout the county particularly providing affordable housing in areas such as Gullane and North Berwick need to go hand in hand with dramatic improvement on the whole counties' accessibility and in particular bus services. Ensure that the area’s significant international, national and local cultural and natural heritage assets are protected and conserved, and where appropriate enhanced, including biodiversity, flora and fauna as well as soil, water and air quality - importance of green networks as dictated by NPF3.

  • Download This PDF: 03 Site and Area Analysis
    SITE & AREA ANALYSIS Scale The site is surprisingly large and varied, and in order to express the possibilities that this scale presents, a comparison with the centre of Edinburgh has been made by showing how much of the city could fit within the site boundary. The plan to the left (Figure 3) indicates that the site could contain portions of the city ranging from The Meadows to the south and as far north as Stockbridge, whilst the majority of Princes Street from Charlotte Square to St Andrew Square could comfortably be accommodated across the width of the site, which is roughly one mile from north to south, and about half a mile wide at its midpoint. Clearly it is not suggested that development take this form, but that there is ample space for a highly varied and complex series of uses, activities, spaces and built-up areas to be contained within it. Some areas would be likely to be preserved as open space, and others may be constrained by use or ground conditions, or proximity to other uses, but this plan demonstrates that there is ample space for a range of uses, landscape and building typologies, and a flexibility to allow for a number of different phasing Figure 3: Site Scale and development scenarios. 16 Former Cockenzie Power Station & Surrounding Area | Masterplan Report • Green space: the site contains an abundance of open space of varying kinds, including woodland, scrub, agricultural land and areas where landscape is beginning to overtake former industrial areas. Much of this space is under-used and poorly connected to other spaces, and is interrupted by the disused rail spur and the other access infrastructure serving parts of the coal store and transformer zone areas.

  • Submission from East Lothian Community Councils I
    SUBMISSION FROM EAST LOTHIAN COMMUNITY COUNCILS I have been asked to give evidence on behalf of all the Community Councils in East Lothian In preparation for today’s session, I emailed all the Community Council Chairmen. It appears that travellers come regularly to several coastal sites, namely Gullane Bents, Yellowcraigs, Broxmouth near Dunbar, John Muir Country Park, various sites around Musselburgh and the land around Cockenzie Power Station. Until 2 or 3 years ago, they also came regularly to the Longniddry Bents Car park. However, East Lothian Council erected barriers which prevent access by high vehicles such as caravans. None of these sites are official camping sites. The travellers stay for short periods only ( no more than 2 weeks) There is an official site near Whitecraig. In discussion with other Community Councillors and local people, the following points emerge: 1. Most people recognise and respect the fact that travellers have a right to their way of life, even though it is very different to that of the settled community. However, there is a strong feeling that this respect should be mutual. 2. Not all travellers should be ‘tarred with the same brush’. However, those who travel mainly in the summer months and stay in unofficial sites for only a short period seem to be the ones who give travelling folk a bad reputation. 3. The behaviour of some travellers gives rise to fear and disgust among those living in houses adjacent to the travellers’ site e.g. threatening and abusive language, defaecating in full view of the public. 4. Some in the settled community resent the fact that these people do not pay rent or Council Tax.
