Aberdeenshire, alongside Aberdeen City, forms one of the most prosperous regions in the country, despite the fall in the price of oil. Skills Development Scotland provides that the region’s economy will continue to grow through 2024, at the 3rd highest rate in the country. The jobs market in the Banff and Buchan region is prima facie less positive than is currently the case in Aberdeenshire. This is evidenced by the fact that, as at March 2017, the economic activity rate in Banff and Buchan is 5.5% lower than Aberdeenshire’s equivalent rate (77.4% versus 82.9%). Approximately 11,200 people aged 16-64 in the Banff and Buchan region are economically inactive (22.6% of the working age population). Of these, approximately 31.4% (or 3,500 people) are categorised as “long-term sick”, which is considerably higher than Aberdeenshire’s corresponding rate (23%).

Finance & Contractual 8. Application Process 9. Selection Process 10. Project Contact 11. Appendices 1. The Commission Live Life Aberdeenshire Arts and Heritage team wishes to appoint a sound artist and a visual artist with experience in socially engaged practice. Working with selected communities across Banff and Buchan in the settlements of Ladysbridge, Rosehearty, Banff, Sandhaven and New Byth, the sound artist will take a creative approach to engaging communities using sound to reflect the locality of language and inspire individuals to nurture their creative and acoustic skills. The visual artist will complement the sound work which will be created by designing and delivering visual documentation. This project is funded by Aberdeenshire Council’s Developer Obligation scheme. 2. Background Banff and Buchan is one of six administrative areas in Aberdeenshire with its larger settlements focused around the coastline. Fishing, tourism and agriculture traditionally play a major role in the local economy. Banff has a population of just over 4,000 and is one of the major settlements on the north Aberdeenshire coast. Sandhaven and Ladysbridge have recently undergone notable population growth. Ladysbridge, two miles outside Banff, has grown significantly over the 1 last four to five years with new housing developed from the site of a former mental health hospital, founded in 1865 and closed in 2003. The highest proportion of Banff and Buchan’s employment is in the manufacturing sector. Significant numbers also work in health and retail.

  • Aberdeenshire Council Adopted the First Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan
    Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2013 Development Plan Scheme 1 Introduction In 2012 Aberdeenshire Council adopted the first Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan. This Development Plan Scheme sets out what our programme is for the preparation of the next Local Development Plan and associated Supplementary Guidance, and how and when businesses, landowners and communities can become involved in their preparation. The process of developing the Local Development Plan is one that takes several years and involves stages associated with: • the publication of a Main Issues Report, an opportunity to consider future options; • a Proposed Plan that builds on this and sets out Aberdeenshire Council’s settled view of where and when development should take place; • an examination into representations made to that plan; and finally • adoption of the plan itself. During 2013 we anticipate completing the first of these stages, the publication of the Main Issues Report. 2 Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2013 Development Plan Scheme 2 The Development Plan The current Development Plan for Aberdeenshire Council also occasionally publishes Planning Advice. is the Aberdeen City and Shire Structure Plan This is non-binding guidance associated with the (August 2009) and the Aberdeenshire Local implementation of policies in the plan.

  • Lotted Lands and Planned Villages in North-East Scotland*
    / / Lotted lands and planned villages in north-east Scotland* by Douglas G. Lockhart Abstract Between 17zo and the 185os some 490 planned villages, characterized by a regular layout of streets, building plots and adjacent fields (or Lotted Lands) were founded on estates throughout Scotland including loo or so in north-east Scotland. Lotted lands were fields, typically subdivided into one- or two-acr e lots, which were leased to villagers to grow crops such as oats and turnips and for grazing cattle and horses. Agricultural activities were particularly important where labouring and domestic industries provided insufficient employment. Working lotted lands gradually became less popular during the first half of the twentieth century though they continued to exist in a few places until the 197os. Planned villages founded by landowners on their estates during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are one of the most distinctive settlement types in Scotland and Ireland. Their founding in such large numbers in this period is a feature which distinguishes the Scottish and Irish rural landscape from that of England. Typically, the ground plan and provision of the basic infrastructure of streets, drainage and water supply, and the construction of a few public buildings was undertaken by the landowner. Incoming families normally built their own homes or contracted with tradesmen to build for them. In all, some 49o villages were founded on landed estates throughout the Scottish mainland and in the Hebrides and Orkney Islands, while it has been estimated that about 500 villages were planned or re-planned in Ireland.1 A system of small and medium-sized villages was created in Scotland where previously only hamlets such as kirktowns at parish churches and burghs had existed.
