    Planning Policy and Access Team Environment & Infrastructure Scottish Borders Council Council Headquarters Newtown St. Boswells Melrose TD6 0SA 10 December 2018 Dear Sir/Madam Local Development Plan 2: Main Issues Report I am writing in connection with the consultation on the Main Issues Report (MIR) and would like to share my views with you on the future direction for planning in the Scottish Borders. As you probably know, I am in the process of researching the history of town and country planning in the Borders for a proposed book; my attention at the moment is devoted to the period prior to 1975 when the former county councils prepared the first development plans for the area and concentrated their efforts on stemming rural depopulation and attracting industry to offset the slimming down of the textiles industry. During that time, central government played an important part in framing the future pattern of development in the Scottish Borders through the Central and South-East Scotland Plan and the Central Borders Study of 1966, which established the principle of major housing and industrial development at Tweedbank. After 1975, the Borders Regional Council took up the challenge and over-saw the end of 100 years of population decline in the region and achieved a steady growth in population based on the diversification of employment and the attraction of workers to the area. Economic development was the cornerstone of this recovery, combined with an improved road transport network and housing provision. Since 1996, the main driving force would appear to have been the need to accommodate an increasingly buoyant housing market with only incremental increases in employment land provision.

  • Invitation and Itinerary
    The Scotland Borders England July 17-23, 2009 Invitation and Itinerary We hope you can join us in Scotland and England for exploration by bike of "The Borders" region of southern Scotland and northern England. In the guidebook Scotland the Best, The Borders is ranked as the #1 place to bike in Scotland. Touring by bike is the best venue we know for combining the outdoors, exercise, camaraderie among fellow cyclists, deliberately slow travels, and a dash of serendipitous adventure. We hold the fellowship and good times on past international tours as very special memories. Veterans and first time adventurers are encouraged to join us as we travel to an as yet undiscovered cycling paradise, before the word gets out! Mary and Allen Turnbull In 2009 Scotland will host its first ever Homecoming year which has been created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. This will be a special year for Scots, those of Scotch ancestry, and all those who love Scotland. It will be fantastic year to "come home." www.homecomingscotland2009.com What is the best way to participate in this countrywide celebration? By bike, of course! So in July we will bike by ancient abbeys, castles, baronial mansions, gently flowing rivers, and picturesque villages as we start in western Scotland and end in England at the North Sea. The Borders include the four shires of Peebles, Berwick, Selkirk, and Roxburgh in Scotland, plus Northumberland in England. Insight Guides says "It [The Borders] is one of Europe’s last unspoilt areas." One morning we’ll put on our walking shoes and hike the Four Abbeys Way as we make a 21st Century pilgrimage to Jedburgh Abbey.
