  • 3 Alternatives Considered
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Part A: The Scheme 3 Alternatives Considered 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This chapter provides an outline of the development of the AWPR including an overview of the assessment work that has been undertaken in the selection of a preferred route and a summary of the objectives of the proposed scheme. 3.2 Background 3.2.1 As described in Chapter 2 (Need for the Scheme), a peripheral route around Aberdeen has been considered since the 1950s, and in the 1990s a western leg route corridor was proposed (the Western Peripheral Route; WPR). The WPR as identified by Grampian Regional Council and its successor authorities was subsequently extended to link with the A90 north of Aberdeen by NESTRANS. The route corridor comprising the WPR and this additional link was named the AWPR and in April 2003 was adopted and promoted by the Scottish Executive as a Trunk Road within a funding partnership of the Scottish Executive, Aberdeen City Council, and Aberdeenshire Council. 3.2.2 The AWPR was refined within this corridor from April 2003 until December 2004, when Transport Scotland requested that consideration be given to additional corridors. In December 2005, following consideration of the alternative corridors, including public consultation held in Spring 2005, the Minister for Transport announced that the AWPR would be taken forward on the Milltimber Brae Route with a Fastlink to Stonehaven. 3.2.3 Various options have been considered at each of the stages described above. The option consideration process included production of many reports and papers that set out the engineering, economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of alternative routes and corridors.

  • 48-Hour Road Trip
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Day 1 - Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire Coast ITINERARY Thinking of a roadtrip in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire but torn between the Snow Roads and NE250. Why not do both? Here’s the 48 hour road trip you’ve got to do. i Old Aberdeen Start your trip in Old Aberdeen - one of Aberdeen’s favourite hidden gems. Step back in time as you visit the Brig O’Balgownie, Seaton Park and the characteristic Chanory. i Lunch at BrewDog DogWalk Aberdeenshire is the home of BrewDog - where the global craft beer producer’s story started. Grab a bite to eat at the DogTap restaurant on your way north along the NE250. If you have time make sure to check out the DogWalk brewery tour. It not only takes in the original brew-house but also includes the epic new expanded site three brew-house, Lone Wolf Distillery. i Peterhead Prison Museum This former Victorian H.M. Convict Prison, now museum, has the first state owned railway in the UK and saw the only time the SAS were used to end a domestic siege in Britain. The museum highlights the work of the brave personnel that served here. i Museum of Scottish Lighthouses Ever heard of a full-size lighthouse built right through the middle of a 16th century castle? Seeing is believing at this truly unique castle. Kinnaird Head Lighthouse was the very first lighthouse to be built on mainland Scotland in 1787. i Gardenstown Rather like seabirds which have adapted to living in the nooks and crannies of cliffs, buildings in Gardenstown also cling to steep slopes as the village has grown vertically towards the sea’s edge.

  • AWPR Public Consultation Report
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Report on Public Consultation (March – April 2005) November 2005 1. Executive Summary The purpose of the public consultation process was to: 1. Inform local people of the progress to date on the AWPR 2. Seek the views of the public on the impacts of the route options The public consultation was not a referendum on the options. The design and assessment work already undertaken had highlighted a number of sensitive issues where the route crosses the River Dee Valley. In recognition of this, a strategic review of alternative corridors was carried out. The results of this strategic review also formed part of the presentation to the public and views were sought on the likely impacts of the various route options. The remainder of the Murtle Route, from Kingswells to the A90 (north), is common to all of the route options. The consultation was carried out using a series of exhibitions at various locations throughout the North East of Scotland. This is described in chapters 1 & 2. This enabled the general public to view, understand and consider the key issues for each of the options and to put forward their comments on an Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. An estimated 4,000 people attended the 20 staffed and 10 un-staffed exhibitions. Following these events, representations were received from approximately 7,600 individuals, businesses or organisations. Approximately half of the responses received were from outside the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Council local authority areas. • 44% of the responses were from outwith the AB postcode area. • Of the responses received that expressed a preference for any route the greatest numbers (768) were in favour of the Murtle Option with the fewest (70) in favour of the Milltimber Brae option.
