They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing.

Given the ongoing restrictions we are still unable to hold the regular liaison meetings with you, however there are a few topics that I wish to update you on. The site continues to follow current Government guidance on COVID-19. For those who need to go on site, a film and series of guides have been produced to ensure familiarity with the latest rules. These guides are updated to reflect any changes in restrictions. Guidance includes the avoidance of car- sharing wherever possible and the wearing of face coverings where required. More than 50% of DSRL staff continue to work from home. While the situation is being kept under constant review, the site’s planning horizon has now been extended with a view that some staff will be working from home until at least the summer of next year. This is intended to provide some clarity to those able to work from home and ensure numbers on site are minimised in order to protect front-line safety and decommissioning activities. It was announced earlier this year that Dounreay Site Restoration Limited will become a direct subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority from the end of March next year. Preparations for this change are taking place, including detailed engagement with regulators. Announcements about the first senior management appointments are expected in the coming weeks and we will keep you updated on this via the monthly newsletter.

  • THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Item 2.1 CAITHNESS, SUTHERLAND & EASTER ROSS PLANNING APPLICATIONS and REVIEW COMMITTEE – Report No 38/07 04 DECEMBER 2007
    Agenda THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Item 2.1 CAITHNESS, SUTHERLAND & EASTER ROSS PLANNING APPLICATIONS AND REVIEW COMMITTEE – Report No 38/07 04 DECEMBER 2007 RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION BY THE SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE ON AN APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 36 OF THE ELECTRICITY ACT 1989 FOR CONSENT TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A WIND FARM AT WESTFIELD, BY THURSO BY BAILLIE WIND FARM LIMITED 04/00342/s36CA Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY It is proposed to establish a wind farm development, with optimum output of 63MW, adjacent to the settlement of Shebster, 7.5km south-west of Thurso. The application has been made to The Scottish Ministers under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. The Planning Authority has been consulted by The Scottish Government. If the Council objects the Scottish Government may be required to hold a public local inquiry. The key issues raised relate to impact upon natural heritage in relation to the Caithness Lochs SPA, cultural heritage and visual amenity. The proposal is a scheme of significant size that has the ability to assist in meeting the Government targets for energy generation through renewable sources, but will have significant local impacts on visual amenity. On balance, the recommendation is that the Council, subject to conditions and agreements, should not object. The applicant is Baillie Wind Farm Ltd. Ward 4: Landward Caithness This consultation is subject to the Council’s hearings procedures. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Council has been consulted by the Scottish Executive on an application submitted under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct a wind farm with planned output of over 50MW.
