    INTRODUCTION | CHALLENGES | VISION, AIMS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY POLICIES | APPENDICES | SETTLEMENTS SETTLEMENT PROFILE STICHILL This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Stichill is partially located within the Central Borders Strategic Development Area as defined in the Development Strategy in the Strategic Development Plan and is located in the Central Housing Market Area, 3 miles to the north of Kelso. According to the 2001 Census the population of the settlement was 126. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Stichill is situated in an elevated position with views to the south over Eden Water and the Tweed Valley towards the Cheviot Hills. Development within the settlement is focused along Ednam Road and the B6364, Kelso to Greenlaw Road, which runs through the village. There has been recent development within Stichill at Ednam Road and there is no land proposed for development within Stichill in the period of this Local Development Plan. However the village is located within the Central Strategic Development Area and development could potentially take place in the future. The Plan identifies one greenspace for protection within Stichill at the Village Hall Play Area. INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS Affordable Housing will require to be provided in association with proposed housing sites under the provisions of Policy HD1 and the Supplementary Guidance/Supplementary Planning Guidance on Affordable Housing.

  • KEYNOTES April 2021
    KEY NOTES KIRKHOPE, ETTRICK & YARROW PARISH MAGAZINE April 2021 First words from Rev Margaret Steele Dear Friends God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I wonder when these words first meant something to you? We come into this Easter time wondering what the future has in store for us as individuals and as churches as we begin the process of un-locking down! Things change yet God’s love remains constant. Karl Barth the great theologian, when asked what the most important message of the Bible was, quoted a hymn we all know from childhood – Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. In the midst of all the changes let us remember this truth – true for all people everywhere for all time. This Easter has seen our church buildings closed, yet our churches are alive with worship and our witness as we work together in our communities to help those in need. God’s church without walls is alive and well! I am very pleased to tell you the results of the vote on whether or not E&Y, Ashkirk and Selkirk should form a new linkage of churches. Overall votes: FOR linking 314, AGAINST 7, with 2 spoilt votes. (turnout was 97.8% of the voter roll) Ashkirk: for 27, against 1 (turnout 80%) Ettrick and Yarrow: for 87, against 3 (turnout 62.5%) Selkirk: for 200, against 3 with 2 invalid votes. (turn out 64.3%) The vote for linking Ettrick & Yarrow with Ashkirk and Selkirk was therefore overwhelmingly positive.
