CITATION CONIC HILL SITE of SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Stirling Site Code: 397
CITATION CONIC HILL SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Stirling Site code: 397 PLANNING AUTHORITY: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NS 421916, NS 415912, NS 411918, NS413920 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 56 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 347 AREA: 60.66 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Igneous Petrology : Ordovician Igneous Biological: Woodlands : Upland oak woodland : Wet woodland Upland habitats : Subalpine calcareous grassland : Alkaline fen Invertebrates : Beetle assemblage : Moth assemblage DESCRIPTION Conic Hill Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is comprised of several detached areas and lies on the east side of Loch Lomond, immediately north of the village of Balmaha. The largest portion of the SSSI constitutes the upland part, whilst the lower areas, adjacent to the loch shore, support woodland. Conic Hill is a composite site supporting varying rocks and soils, and wildlife habitats. The Highland Border Complex is of national importance and consists of a number of narrow, fault-bounded exposures of Ordovician sediments and igneous rocks, which crop out intermittently along the Highland Boundary Fault Zone between Arran and Stonehaven. The ultramafic and mafic rocks of the complex are interpreted as incomplete fragments of a greatly dismembered obducted ophiolite. A narrow zone of rocks belonging to the Complex is exposed north of Balmaha, on the eastern side of Loch Lomond. Exposures extending from the lakeside to Druim nam Beurach consist of detrital rocks which have yielded a chitinozoan fauna of probable Arenig age. The rocks contain a wide variety of ophiolitic clasts including serpentinite, gabbro, dolerite and spilite, which by implication were derived from an ophiolite of early Arenig, or more likely pre-Arenig age. -

Forth and Endrick News Tuesday, 19 June 2007
Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council Forth and Endrick News - Killearn - Wednesday, 11th December 2013 Arnprior Balfron Buchanan Buchlyvie Croftamie Drymen Fintry Gargunnock Killearn Kippen Strathblane Councillor Lambie Report PBB Priority Base Budgeting: This is the council’s new approach to budgeting which is designed to achieve savings of some £29 million over the next 5 years although officers have mooted that this program could extend to 10 years. The PBB has identified 3 core budget categories for each council service – A. Transformation Options. B. Efficiency Options C. Stop/Reduce Options. The latter category, arguably contains many of the more unpalatable option a number of which could have more impact on rural communities than urban. These include – Fintry Nursery Closure, Withdraw Specialist Teachers (Music), Reduce Grey Bin Collection to 4 weekly, Introduction of Charge for Brown Bin Collection, Introduction of Road End Bin Collections, Stop Treatment of Invasive Plant Species, Reduce Frequency of Grass Cutting, Reduction of supported bus service budget by 50%, Increase Council Tax on Long-Term Unoccupied properties etc. Community Engagement: There have a series of meeting throughout the Stirling Council area including a well-attended one at Balfron High on 2nd December. There is also an online survey for residents and groups to express their views: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SC-PBB-E The Priority Based Budgeting page on the Stirling Council website can be found by typing into Google - stirling council working together or there is a link on the council home page. The draft PBB report can be downloaded from the website. -

Duncan Mcneil's Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock Drawn From
Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 From the local history collection of John McLaren [email protected] Web Site www.gargunnockvillagehistory.co.uk Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 Mr McNeil’s handwritten presentation, delivered in the church hall in 1947, is held in the Stirling Council Archives at Borrowmeadow Road. It runs to 74 pages and contains an instruction at the end of line 3 on page 49 to go to an additional page 50 on which there are two paragraphs, one on the village and the other on the Rev John Stark with the further instruction to then return to the first page 50. Doing so would have resulted in the additional paragraphs being so obviously out of context that I have instead placed them in locations where they sit more comfortably within the surrounding text. They are printed in red. The photo above is of Duncan McNeil in the early 1950s. Duncan’s father Dugald worked all his life for the Stirlings of Gargunnock and Duncan, in turn, served in the same way. He and his wife lived in Shrub Cottage, Manse Brae but after his retirement moved to Hillview, Main St., Gargunnock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The matter which has gone to make up this presentation tonight has been taken almost entirely from two old Statistical Accounts of the parish of Gargunnock, which I have been fortunate enough to come across some years ago. These accounts were compiled by the Parish Ministers of that time, one in 1796 almost 152 years ago by the Rev. -

Does the Proposed Housing Development Comply with the Stirling Local Development Plan 2018? No It Does Not
Strathblane Community Council CHERIE CHRYSTAL, Case Officer Planning and Environmental Appeals Division 4 The Courtyard, Callendar Business Park, Falkirk FK1 1XR By email: [email protected]; [email protected] 15 August 2019 Dear Ms Chrystal PPA-390-2060-1 (Planning Authority ref:17/00434/PPP) PLANNING PERMISSION APPEAL: LAND 160 METRES SOUTH OF BROADGATE HOUSE CAMPSIE ROAD STRATHBLANE G63 9AB Strathblane Community Council thanks you for your letter inviting comments on the fresh appeal that is to be determined by the Reporter. We answer first the two questions raised in your letter, and then provide some more background and concluding observations. Does the proposed housing development comply with the Stirling Local Development Plan 2018? No it does not. For example: The proposal is plainly contrary to Green Belt designation confirmed in adopted LDP 2018 Primary Policy 1 (Placemaking). Policy 1.5 in more detail is against the development both by individual and cumulative impact. None of the exceptions in Policy 1.5 applies to this proposal. The LDP establishes the Green Belt boundary by the allocating land for a cemetery extension, where the present appellant intends to build up to 70 houses. Approval in this case would create a precedent for the same and other developers to force development all over the Green Belt1. The proposal conflicts with Primary Policy 3 (Provision of Infrastructure), by removing the site presently designated for the essential cemetery extension. 1 See pages 4 & 5 of Strathblane Community Council submission against application 17/00434/PPP dated 17 August 2017 (item CR011 in the appeal documents). -
