Scottish Government Wednesday 26 February 2020 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Constitution and External Affairs Finlay Carson (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government to what extent the cumulative impact of windfarm developments locally is considered in planning appeals, where applications have been refused by a local authority. (S5W-27442) Kevin Stewart: The cumulative impact of a proposed development is one of a number of factors taken into account when determining appeals and also in the examination of proposals over 50 megawatts which are dealt with under the Electricity Act. In relation to planning appeals the Town and Country Planning Scotland Act 1997 sets out that the reporter must make their decision in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The reporter will consider the status of the plan, any emerging policies that may be relevant, any environmental report submitted with the application and views expressed by consultees and other third parties with an interest in the proposal. Each case is considered on its individual merits. Finlay Carson (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what the process is for planning appeals to be considered where a large-scale wind turbine has been refused planning permission at a local authority level. (S5W-27443) Kevin Stewart: Any proposal to construct or operate a power generation scheme with a capacity under the threshold of 50 megawatts are made to the relevant local planning authority and require planning permission under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. Proposed developments over 50 megawatts are dealt with under the Electricity Act and the final decision is made by Scottish Ministers. An examination by a reporter from DPEA will normally take place only when the local planning authority object to the proposed development. Where an application for a proposal under 50 megawatts has been made to the council but the person who made the application doesn't agree with the decision, or the council hasn't made a decision, an appeal can be made to Scottish Ministers in certain instances. In keeping with the vast majority of appeals a Scottish Government Reporter is appointed to make a determination on Ministers behalf. The Town and Country Planning Scotland Act 1997 sets out that the appointed reporter must make their decision in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The reporter will consider the status of the plan, any emerging policies that may be relevant, and all the evidence submitted by parties involved in an appeal, and make their decision on the planning merits of the case. The reporter will decide what information they require to decide the appeal and whether this can be obtained by way of written submissions or whether a hearing or inquiry session is necessary. In all cases of this type the reporter will carry out an inspection of the site. Economy Colin Smyth (South Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government whether it is considering extending the definition of a protected animal under section 16 of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 to include cephalopods and decapod crustaceans. (S5W-27233) Mairi Gougeon: The Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 allows the definition of protected animal to be extended to include invertebrates of any description but only if the Scottish Ministers are satisfied, on the basis of scientific evidence, that creatures of the kind concerned are capable of experiencing pain or suffering. Should appropriate scientific evidence become available such an extension could therefore be given further consideration. The Scottish Government is considering the need for a review of the currently available scientific evidence. Claudia Beamish (South Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what information it has regarding how many individual members of staff at (a) Scottish Natural Heritage, (b) the Crown Estate Scotland, (c) Scottish Water, (d) the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, (e) the Drinking Water Quality Regulator, (f) the Scottish Land Commission and (g) the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency used air travel for official business trips (i) in 2018-19 and (ii) since April 2019, also broken down by overseas flights. (S5W-27334) Kate Forbes: The information requested is not held centrally. I would suggest going to the Public Bodies directly for this information. Miles Briggs (Lothian) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what information it has on the links between air pollution and depression and suicide; what plans it has to undertake further research on this, and whether it will provide an update on the action it is taking to reduce air pollution. (S5W-27365) Clare Haughey: The relationship between air pollution and health is extremely complex. It is widely documented that air pollution has a negative impact on health. However, the sorts of illness that air pollution can exacerbate can also be affected by multiple other factors – such as obesity, alcohol, smoking, and genetics. Whilst the Scottish Government currently has no plans to undertake research on the links between air pollution and depression and suicide; we are firmly committed to improving air quality across the country. That is why we have set stringent air quality targets. For example, we are the first country in Europe to adopt in legislation the WHO guideline value for particulate matter 2-5 – a pollutant of special concern for human health. Funding totalling £2.5 million is available annually to local authorities to support action plan development and implementation on air quality and we are working closely with local authorities to deliver a network of Low Emission Zones across Scotland’s four biggest cities by 2020. The first of these was introduced in Glasgow in December 2018. Jamie Halcro Johnston (Highlands and Islands) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government how much money from the Apprenticeship Levy has been spent in each year since 2017-18, also broken down by programme. (S5W-27367) Jamie Hepburn: The Scottish Government has no responsibility for the UK Government’s Apprenticeship Levy which is a tax on employers. HMRC hold data on what is raised by the Levy. Jamie Halcro Johnston (Highlands and Islands) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what proportion of funds from the Apprenticeship Levy has been spent on delivering (a) modern, (b) graduate and (c) foundation apprenticeships in each year since 2017-18. (S5W-27368) Jamie Hepburn: The Scottish Government has no responsibility for the UK Government’s Apprenticeship Levy which is a tax on employers. HMRC hold data on what is raised by the Levy. The following table sets out Scottish Government funding for Apprenticeships in the years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Figures for 2019-20 will be available at the end of the financial year. 2017-18 (£ million) 2018-19 (£ million) (a) Modern Apprenticeships 81.5 81.3 (b) Graduate Apprenticeships 4.7 6.1 (c) Foundation Apprenticeships 6.8 12.5 Jamie Halcro Johnston (Highlands and Islands) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government how much money from the Employability Fund has been spent in each year since 2017-18, also broken down by provider. (S5W-27369) Jamie Hepburn: Employability Fund contract spend is published in the SDS Annual Procurement Reports, linked to below: https://www.skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk/media/44806/annual-procurement- report-2017-2018-july-2018.pdf https://www.skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk/media/45803/annual-procurement- report-2018-19.pdf Contract Values are published and are broken down by each employability fund provider: https://www.stf.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/employability-fund-201718-contract- values.pdf https://www.stf.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/ef-contracts-2018-19.pdf 2019/20 contract values are not yet published, but are set out in the table below: Employability Fund 2019-20 (Feb 2020) Contracted Contract Organisation volumes Value Aberdeen Foyer 127 £130,950 Action for Children 126 £220,650 Angus Council 38 £77,049 Apex Scotland 10 £23,373 Argyll and Bute Council 22 £50,186 Barnardo's 699 £1,440,014 Business Development Advisers Ltd 20 £32,326 CEIS Ayrshire 66 £111,816 Clackmannanshire Council 28 £44,860 Comhairle nan Eilean Siar 40 £86,358 Cornerstone Community Care 0 £3,700 Culture and Sport Glasgow 12 £36,740 Cyrenians 52 £77,800 DEAP Ltd 87 £117,210 Direct Partners Limited 69 £151,150 Doosan Babcock Ltd 8 £34,672 East Ayrshire Council 91 £178,016 ENABLE Scotland (Leading the Way) 489 £826,112 Essentials Plus Ltd 41 £70,326 Falkirk Council 228 £438,617 Fife Council 160 £258,702 First Steps Future Training Limited 30 £90,002 Galloway Training Limited 65 £171,272 GP Strategies Training Limited 87 £184,274 GTG Training Limited 166 £285,112 Helm Training Ltd 169 £374,535 IDTC Limited 208 £423,074 Impact Arts (Projects) Ltd 30 £61,619 Jim Mair Driver Training Ltd 60 £106,750 Jobs & Business Glasgow 0 £25,972 Kingdom Housing Association Limited 205 £320,518 L&G Learning (Scotland) Ltd 189 £361,231 LAMH Recycle Ltd 69 £134,136 Lanarkshire Catering School 171 £282,199 Life Skills Centres Ltd 88 £108,611 Lowland Training Services Ltd 330 £491,186 Midlothian Council - Lifelong Learning and 20 £27,200 Employability Momentum Scotland

  • Man in Moray
    10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com­ pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound­ aries of the province.

  • Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7-1 7
    Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7 CULTRAL HERITAGE 7.1 Introduction This Chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation of the proposed A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvements (the Scheme) on cultural heritage (built heritage, archaeology and designed historic landscapes). As a highways Scheme, this assessment has been prepared in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Detailed Assessment (DMRB Volume 11 Section 3, Part 2 Cultural Heritage HA 208/07, 2007). In accordance with advice contained in DMRB Volume 11, an Options Appraisal (Stage 2 Simple Assessment) was undertaken in September 2011. This determined that the cultural heritage resource had the potential to be impacted by the Scheme. This was confirmed as part of a Scoping exercise (April 2012) which concluded that a detailed assessment was required. The objective of a DMRB Detailed Assessment (Volume 11, Parts 2 and 3), as required for inclusion in the Environmental Statement, is to: undertake sufficient assessment to identify the location, type and importance of cultural heritage constraints; characterise and assess the importance of the cultural heritage of the study area; determine the likely nature and scale of potential impacts from construction and operation of the Scheme; and determine mitigation measures to reduce or remedy any adverse impacts. 7.2 Approach & Methods 7.2.1 Plans and Policies This assessment has been undertaken in accordance with current legislation and planning policy. The following relevant documents have been used in the preparation of this report: The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011; Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2011; Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) 2011; Scottish Planning Policy (2010); and Planning Advice Note 2/2011 – Planning and Archaeology (2011).

  • FCC Response to A96 Route Options Update Aug2018
    A96 Dualling Team, Transport Scotland, Buchanan House, 58 Port Dundas Road, Glasgow G4 0HF 14th September 2018 Dear Sirs A96 Dualling Hardmuir to Fochabers scheme Route options – Design update August 2018 Thank you for the recent information on the route options being considered for the A96 dualling in the Forres area. The Finderne Community Council (FCC) notes that the southern, Red, route remains under consideration and would make a number of observations and requests for further information with regard to the potential environmental, economic and community impacts of this route as set out below: 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1.1 Landscape - Proposed crossing of the B9010 The FCC has previously been advised by the project team that the existing B9010 Rafford to Forres road would pass under the proposed dualled A96. We are concerned to note that the revised proposals now have the B9010 being elevated via an embankment with a fly-over bridge across the A96. The concerns that we have previously lodged with regard to the visual impact of significant embankment works across this stretch of countryside have been exacerbated by the revisions made to the proposals. The extent of embankments for both the dualled A96 and the B9010 fly- over will totally dominate the visual appearance of the area. Marcassie Farm Lodges Previous B9010 crossing Revised B9010 crossing 1.2 Woodland Removal The woodlands of Moray and particularly of Finderne are some of our most highly valued environmental assets making a significant contribution to the local landscape, local economy (through on-going timber production), biodiversity, and general quality of life through provision of recreational facilities.

  • Generation, Sifting and Appraisal of Interventions
    Appendix A - Interventions taken forward from the Sifting Process National STPR Interventions 50 National Report 3 Page A1 of A168 Appendix A - Interventions taken forward from the Sifting Process National Intervention 301 Expansion of Trunk Road Intelligent Transport System Description Introduction of a toolkit of measures on the motorway and the trunk road network in Central Scotland, covering priority vehicle lanes, ramp metering and intelligent signing. Justification This intervention will contribute to several national objectives, including 'journey time reductions on the trunk road network for prioritised vehicles' and (improved) journey time reliability for all users while 'maximising the labour catchment area in city regions'. This will have a significant impact on road users through efficient management of the trunk road network and by providing journey time information. There are unlikely to be any deliverability issues with this intervention as it would be implemented in line with emerging best practice experience from across Scotland and the UK. National objectives addressed: Objective Addressed Promote 'competitive' inter-urban journey times. Objective Addressed Reduce inter-urban journey time on public transport. Objective Addressed Promote journey time reduction on the trunk road network for prioritised vehicles and users (e.g. high occupancy vehicles, freight, bus) where STAG appraisal demonstrates that a strong economic case can be balanced with environmental objectives. Elsewhere on the trunk road network provide improvements to journey time reliability. Objective Addressed Promote journey time reductions between the central belt and Aberdeen/Inverness primarily to allow business to achieve an effective working day when travelling between these centres. Objective Addressed Maximise the labour catchment area in city regions where economic evidence demonstrates that this is required (favouring public transport and high occupancy vehicles and balancing with other policy measures that promote reduction in need to travel i.e.
