Introduction Community Planning is a process that aims to make sure people and communities are genuinely engaged in decisions made on public services which affect them and that organisations make a commitment to work together in providing better public services. The Scottish Government has recognised the role of community planning in improving the quality of life for local citizens and reducing inequalities. Community planning was made a statutory duty in the Local Government in Scotland Act, 2003. Aberdeen City Council has the lead role in delivering community planning within Aberdeen, working in partnership with organisations that have a legal duty to participate (NHS Grampian, Grampian Police, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Enterprise Grampian and other interested parties. Collectively, Aberdeen’s Community Planning partnership is known as The Aberdeen City Alliance (TACA). TACA has a duty to involve local communities fully in planning and providing better public services. TACA produced the City’s first community plan in November 2001. This has since been revised to incorporate the Single Outcome Agreement. The Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) between TACA and The Scottish Government sets out how TACA will deliver on a number of national outcomes that the public sector in Scotland will be expected to achieve.

As part of the publication of the Local Development Plan 2017, an appraisal of the document has been undertaken and, as part of this process, policy references within the document have been reviewed and updated. Any queries concerning the text of the document should be directed to Planning and Sustainable Development (03000 200292 or [email protected]) for clarification. ‘A northern linear suburb of Aberdeen drawn out along the south bank of the River Don between Old Aberdeen and Bucksburn, Woodside developed as a separate mill village from the late 18th century in association with cotton spinning, bleaching, papermaking, iron founding and the Aberdeenshire Canal, which gave the settlement its linear morphology.’ (www.scottish-places.info) H a l l i d a y F r a s e r M u n r o 1 Contents Persley Den—the Vision 1.

The report provides the latest monitoring results and discusses the implications for air quality management in Aberdeen. The main pollutants of concern in Aberdeen City are nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10), related to road traffic emissions. In 2019 NO2 levels monitored across the city were marginally lower than previous years and trends suggest NO2 levels are decreasing. In particular, there were no exceedances of NO2 objective levels in the Wellington Road AQMA and the Anderson Drive AQMA. This is the first time this has occurred since monitoring began in 2009. Monitoring in the City Centre AQMA suggest that pockets of exceedance remain along Union Street, King Street and Market Street area. Nitrogen dioxide levels at monitoring locations outside the AQMAs remain well below the annual mean objective, except for monitoring located at Skene Square where levels continue to be just below the threshold of the annual mean objective There were no exceedances of the NO2 one hour objective at any of the monitoring locations.
