  • CITATION MOCHRUM LOCHS SITE of SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Dumfries and Galloway Site Code: 1171
    CITATION MOCHRUM LOCHS SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Dumfries and Galloway Site code: 1171 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NX 295535 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 82 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 310, 311 AREA: 456.36 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Biological: Bogs: Blanket Bog Freshwater habitats: Oligotrophic loch Birds: Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) DESCRIPTION Mochrum Lochs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an area of blanket bog and loch lying 7.5km southwest of Kirkcowan. The area of blanket bog lies between Castle Loch, Black Loch and Mochrum Loch and is the best example of its kind in Wigtownshire, showing a range of vegetation types. The lochs are also the best examples of lowland oligotrophic waters in Wigtownshire. The site provides a clear view of the variations found on this type of habitat. The drier areas are dominated by cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccus, purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, heather Calluna vulgaris, hare’s-tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix and Sphagnum rubellum. The wet areas are dominated by Sphagnum species with bog rosemary Andromeda polifolia, white beak-sedge Rhynchospora alba, deergrass Trichophorum cespitosum and bog myrtle Myrica gale also present. Mochrum Lochs hold the largest inland breeding colony of cormorants in Great Britain with some 343 breeding pairs recorded in May 2000. The lochs and surrounding habitats also provide one of the richest assemblages of breeding bird species in Wigtownshire of which there are 60 species within the SSSI. These include mallard, great-crested grebe, little grebe, tufted duck, red-breasted merganser, oystercatcher, lapwing, ringed plover, common sandpiper, redshank, common tern, gulls and various passerines.

  • Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Dumfries and Galloway Council LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal Draft Supplementary Guidance - January 2018 draft www.dumgal.gov.uk draft This conservation area character appraisal was first adopted as supplementary planning guidance to the Wigtown Local Plan. That plan has been replaced by the Local Development Plan (LDP) which is reviewed every 5 years. The conservation area character appraisal is considered by the Council to remain relevant and so will be readopted as Supplementary Guidance to LDP2. Policy HE2: Conservation Areas ties the conservation area character appraisal to LDP2. The policy reinforces the importance and value of conservation area character appraisal as the policy states that “The Council will support development proposals within or adjacent to a conservation area that preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area and is consistent with any relevant conservation area appraisal and management plan.” draft Whithorn Conservation Area Appraisal Contents Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal .......................................... 3 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 3 Background ...........................................................................................................................3 The Conservation Area .........................................................................................................3 The Character Appraisal .......................................................................................................3

  • Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.16 Corridor 16: Stranraer to North West England and beyond 7.16.1 Setting the Context Corridor 16 extends from Stranraer across to the northwest of England, approximately 157 kilometres in length The corridor follows a largely east-west alignment, serving the regional centre of Dumfries and the settlements of Newton Stewart, Castle Douglas, Annan and Gretna, and providing links to Carlisle across the border and beyond. The corridor is largely rural with small settlements. The extent of the corridor and the location of the main settlements are shown in Figure 7.16.1. The corridor has a total population 106,500699, which is forecast to remain unchanged between 2005 and 2022699. At the same time, the number of households in the area is forecast to increase by approximately 4,000, a rise of eight per cent699. Much of the pressure for housing development is concentrated in the larger towns such as Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan which also act as employment and service centres700. The traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors are facing decline and tourism is predicted to play an important role in the future local economy. Settlements which are close to the A74 (M) benefit from being able to access wider markets which could generate business employment opportunities. The ports of Cairnryan and Stranraer provide frequent and heavily used ferry services between Scotland and Northern Ireland. Stena Line, who currently use the port of Stranraer, are progressing with plans for a new ferry port development on Loch Ryan.
