The SEA must be taken into account by the Council in developing the Local Development Plan which is eventually adopted. It must be available for public comment alongside the Local Development Plan itself. As the Local Development Plan passes through further stages of scrutiny, including an Examination, the SEA must be updated to reflect any changes in the Plan. This Non-Technical Summary reviews the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of Fife Council’s Main Issues Report prepared as part of the Local Development Plan process. It has been included to assist consultees and members of the public in understanding the purpose of the environmental assessment process. The Main Issues Report is the first formal stage in the preparation of the new Local Development Plan for Fife, named the FIFEplan. The SEA allows for the integration of environmental considerations into the Local Development Plan in the following ways: • The SEA assesses the potential environmental effects of the Local Development Plan and, where appropriate, this information is used to inform the development of policies in the Local Development Plan, and • Sets out predicted environmental effects within the Environmental Report so that the public and other stakeholders can give their view on the preferred options identified in the Main Issues Report and their potential effects. This Environmental Report is the primary consultation document in the SEA and provides detailed information on Fife’s environment and current challenges, a high-level assessment of potential environmental effects accruing from the issues raised in the Main Issues Report along with a number of recommendations and measures to mitigate against the potentially significant residual effects during the life of the Local Development Plan. Preparation of the Local Development Plan Main Issues Report The FIFEplan Local Development Plan will replace the three existing Local Plans and will, together with the Strategic Development Plans (SESplan and TAYplan) form the development plan for Fife. FIFEplan will set out how the Council intends to shape its towns, villages and the countryside over the next five to ten years. Once approved, the Local Development Plan will be the primary tool in the determination of planning applications. The Main Issues Report is a significant stage in the Local Development Plan preparation and sets out general proposals for development in the area in relation to economic, environmental and social issues – these are arranged under the topics of People, Economy and Place. It sets out a series of options for the future direction of significant policy issues alongside reasonable alternatives and sets out a spatial strategy to Identify areas where development should happen and where it should be avoided. Strategic Environmental Assessment Process The Environmental Report has played a key part in informing the Main Issues Report. The key steps of the SEA that have been completed to date include: 5 Non-Technical Summary • Environmental Assessment: Following the consultation period, there will be a review of the responses received and appropriate action will be taken where necessary to incorporate the results into the Local Development Plan and subsequent iterations of the Environmental Report.

The assessment must therefore be carried out against a view of what

  • The Place Names of Fife and Kinross
    1 n tllif G i* THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS BY W. J. N. LIDDALL M.A. EDIN., B.A. LOND. , ADVOCATE EDINBURGH WILLIAM GREEN & SONS 1896 TO M. J. G. MACKAY, M.A., LL.D., Advocate, SHERIFF OF FIFE AND KINROSS, AN ACCOMPLISHED WORKER IN THE FIELD OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH. INTRODUCTION The following work has two objects in view. The first is to enable the general reader to acquire a knowledge of the significance of the names of places around him—names he is daily using. A greater interest is popularly taken in this subject than is apt to be supposed, and excellent proof of this is afforded by the existence of the strange corruptions which place names are wont to assume by reason of the effort on the part of people to give some meaning to words otherwise unintelligible to them. The other object of the book is to place the results of the writer's research at the disposal of students of the same subject, or of those sciences, such as history, to which it may be auxiliary. The indisputable conclusion to which an analysis of Fife—and Kinross for this purpose may be considered a Fife— part of place names conducts is, that the nomen- clature of the county may be described as purely of Goidelic origin, that is to say, as belonging to the Irish branch of the Celtic dialects, and as perfectly free from Brythonic admixture. There are a few names of Teutonic origin, but these are, so to speak, accidental to the topography of Fife.

  • Analytical Tools for Toponymy: Their Application to Scottish Hydronymy
    Analytical Tools for Toponymy: Their Application to Scottish Hydronymy Jacob King MSc. A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2008 i I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work. Jacob King Abstract It has long been observed that there is a correlation between the physical qualities of a watercourse and the linguistic qualities of its name; for instance, of two river-names, one having the linguistic quality of river as its generic element, and one having burn, one would expect the river to be the longer of the two. Until now, a phenomenon such as this had never been formally quantified.The primary focus of this thesis is to create, within a Scottish context, a methodology for elucidating the relationship between various qualities of hydronyms and the qualities of the watercourses they represent. The area of study includes every catchment area which falls into the sea from the River Forth, round the east coast of Scotland, up to and including the Spey; also included is the east side of the River Leven / Loch Lomond catchment area.The linguistic strata investigated are: Early Celtic, P-Celtic, Gaelic and Scots. In the first half of the introduction scholarly approaches to toponymy are discussed, in a Scottish and hydronymic context, from the inception of toponymy as a discipline up to the present day; the capabilities and limitations of these approaches are taken into consideration.In the second half the approaches taken in this thesis are outlined.The second chapter explains and justifies in more detail the methodology and calculus used in this thesis.The subsequent chapters examine the following linguistic components of a hydronym: generic elements, linguistic strata, semantics and phonological overlay.
