NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY In compliance with Section 14(3) and Schedule 3 (10) of the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Environmental Report must contain a non-technical summary covering the following items: 1. Description of the broad findings of the SEA; 2. A summary of the information and findings specified at paragraphs 1 – 9 of Schedule 3 of the Act – i.e. a summary of the findings of each stage of the assessment and section of the ER; 3. Details of the consultation and the address to which any comments should be sent. BACKGROUND The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 has the effect of making Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) mandatory when preparing a Local Development Plan (LDP) under the Town & Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended). The SEA process is to be aligned with the key stages of preparing the Development Plan, with the SEA findings reported at each stage. This is done with the advice of the ‘Consultation Authorities’ (CA), namely Historic Scotland (HS), Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). This Draft Environmental Report (DER) reports interim SEA findings and has been prepared with the advice on the CAs. In October 2014 the Council published for consultation its Main Issues Report for it Local Development Plan and the associated Interim Environmental Report. This consultation period ended in February 2015. Although the CAs were satisfied with the scope and content of the IER, they made some minor suggestions for how the IER might be improved while noting that these would not change the outcome of the SEA overall. These suggested changes from the CAs are indicated throughout this Draft Environmental Report as follows: Brown: Historic Environment Scotland suggestions; Green: Scottish Natural Heritage suggestions; Blue: Scottish Environmental Protection Agency suggestions. As such, this SEA Environmental Report is evolving with the plan making and consultation processes. The paragraphs below summarise the main findings of the SEA at this stage. However, the approach that scores best in SEA terms does not need to be progressed by the LDP. An ER is to identify, describe, predict and evaluate the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing a plan, policy or strategy (PPS), and its reasonable alternatives. It is to i describes any measures envisaged to prevent, reduce and as far as possible offset any significant adverse effects (mitigation). It is also to clarify who will be responsible for delivering any mitigation and describe the monitoring arrangements. This document is the Draft Environmental Report (DER) of East Lothian Council’s Proposed Local Development Plan (Proposed LDP) – i.e. a Draft Environmental Report published for consultation alongside the Proposed LDP that is published for representation. The Finalised Environmental Report will be published with the adopted LDP, as the Draft Environmental Report may be amended to take in to account any changes arising should any Examination of the Proposed LDP trigger this. A SEA Post Adoption Statement will also be published to explain the effect that the SEA process has had on the LDP. CONSULTATION PERIOD The consultation

  • Torness Nuclear Power Station Off-Site Emergency Plan: Outline Planning Zone (OPZ)
    Torness Nuclear Power Station Off-Site Emergency Plan: Outline Planning Zone (OPZ) Torness Nuclear Power Station Outline Planning Zone Plan (OPZ) Prepared by East Lothian Council1 Great Britain has well developed emergency response arrangements and there is no change in radiological risk, which remains extremely low. Great Britain has benefitted from over 60 years of clean and safe nuclear power. REPPIR 2019, updated legislation in 2019, and along with other changes introduced Outline Planning Zones (OPZ), to plan for less likely but more severe emergencies, including unforeseen events. For civil nuclear sites, like Torness Nuclear Power Station, the OPZ has been pre-set at 30km, by regulation 9(1)(a) and schedule 5 of REPPIR-19. OPZ planning is lighter touch than for Detailed Emergency Planning Zones (DEPZ), and does not require capabilities to be in place ready to deploy as is the case for the DEPZ. This plan is an overview of the area between the 3km DEPZ and the boundary of the 30km OPZ, detailing the population in this area and in particular the most vulnerable. This plan further improves the already significant emergency response planning in place for Torness Nuclear Power Station. This plan should be read in conjunction with the East Lothian Council (ELC), Torness Nuclear Emergency Response plan which describes the detailed arrangements made for responding to off-site nuclear emergencies. This plan can be found on Resilience Direct and for public consumption on the ELC website with hard copies available at local libraries. 1 Any changes to this plan should be sent to [email protected] 1 Version 1.0 Torness OPZ plan released 2nd November 2020.

SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE FACULTY OF DIVINITY THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW OCTOBER 1996 ABSTRACT This study aims to show that when the religious dimension of the women's suffrage movement is considered, it can be seen that while the Scottish Presbyterian Churches at an official level remained neutral in their attitudes, the ministers and members of the Churches gave significant and varied support to the campaign, and their efforts contributed to the success of the suffrage movement. Although the term 'the religious dimension' includes both positive and negative responses to the movement in the Churches, this thesis concentrates on the positive efforts which were made.
