Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2015 Site Assessment Report Introduction A public consultation period on the Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan (2015) ran from Friday 20th March – Monday 1st June 2015. A total of 187 submissions were received during this period. This Report contains a copy of all Site Assessments which were undertaken by the Local Development Plan (LDP) Team in order to consider any unresolved objections to specific sites within the Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan. A copy of the Sustainability Checklist used to assess development proposals can be found at the end of this report. The majority of submissions received to the Proposed Plan consultation related to sites which had previously been considered by the LDP Team at either (or both) Pre-Main Issues Report Stage (Pre-MIR / Call For Sites) or Main Issues Report (MIR) stage. Where this if is the case then the Site Assessments previously undertaken have been updated in order to reflect the current situation – these updates are highlighted in red text. The previous reference given to the site at either Pre-MIR or MIR stage is also noted for ease of cross referencing. Where a site has been submitted for assessment only at Proposed Plan stage (i.e. not previously considered at either Pre- MIR or MIR stage) then a full assessment has been carried out, and these are also highlighted in red text. Any queries about the content of this report should be directed to the Local Development Plan Team on 01224 523317 or [email protected]. 1 Site Assessments by Electoral Ward Area 1 - Bridge of Don/Grandhome .......................................................................................................... 3 Area 2 - Dyce/Bucksburn/Woodside ....................................................................................................... 49 Area 4 - Countesswells ......................................................................................................................... 117 Area 5 - Deeside ................................................................................................................................... 131 Area 6 - Loirston/Cove .......................................................................................................................... 249 The Sustainability Checklist - Explanation of the Assessment Criteria .................................................. 267 2 Area 1 - Bridge of Don/Grandhome Respondent No. Site Name 31 Mill of Mundurno 63 Land at Balgownie (Pre MIR Ref: B0203) 71 Land at Persley Croft, The Parkway (Pre MIR Ref: B0101) 75 Jesmond Drive 85 Mundurno (Pre MIR Ref: B0202) 109 OP7 - Land at Aberdeen College Gordon Centre 118 Shielhill (Pre MIR Ref: B0206) 150 Causewayend (Pre MIR Ref: B0210) 152 Shielhill Farm (Pre MIR Ref: B0205) 156 Land at Perwinnes (Pre MIR Ref: B0209) 3 Representation 31 – Mill of Mundurno REPRESENTATION NUMBER: 31 NAME of SITE: Mill of Mundurno Proposer: Knight Frank on behalf of Avant Homes Nature of the proposal: Residential Development Checklist Score: 44 Constraints: Green Belt, Isolated Location, Landscape Fit Recommendation: Undesirable Justification: This site has been submitted for assessment only at Proposed Plan stage (i.e. not previously considered at either Pre-MIR or MIR stage). The Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan fully meets the Strategic Development Plan greenfield requirements and we are confident that a continuous 5 year housing land supply can be met throughout the lifetime of this Local Development Plan. Accordingly, we do not consider it necessary to allocate any further greenfield sites beyond those already identified in the Proposed Plan. Residential development on this site would intrude significantly into the surrounding landscape and would remove an important part of Green Belt land. The site is isolated from local facilities and there are few sustainable transport options, making any development in this location heavily car reliant. Allowing development to the north of the B999 would have the effect of extending built development into the open countryside, weakening the green belt boundary that currently exists north of Denmore. 4 Criteria Score Justification Exposure 2 Some shelter from northerly winds from tree belt. Aspect 3 Generally a flat site with some small undulations. Slope 3 Flat site Flood risk 3 No known risk of natural or man made flooding. Drainage 2 Some small pockets of poorly drained land visible during site visit. Built / Cultural 2 Sites and Monuments Record indicates that ‘linear cropmarks’ lie across the site. Elements Natural 2 The site is covered by an area identified as bat habitat. Conservation Landscape 2 Some potential loss of tree belts and hedges. Features Landscape Fit 1 Development on this site would intrude significantly into the surrounding landscape. There is currently no development to the north of the B999 (apart from the Mundurno Hotel). The B999 forms a clear and distinct green belt edge. Relationship to 1 Residential development to the north of the B999 would be unrelated to existing development. existing Cut off by the road, housing on this site would be isolated. settlement 5 Land Use Mix / 1 Further residential development in Bridge of Don would offer little to a better land use mix.

Constraints 7 Representation 63 – Land at Balgownie, Bridge of Don REPRESENTATION NUMBER: 63 NAME of SITE: Land at Balgownie, Bridge of Don. Pre MIR Reference: B0203 Proposer: University of Aberdeen Nature of the proposal: Residential, sports, leisure facilities, managed open space, potential extension of the Aberdeen Science and Technology Park. Checklist Score: 51 Constraints: Removal of pitch facilities, Third Don Crossing, Urban Green Space, flooding Recommendation: Undesirable Justification: A 16.7 hectare site comprises of an area of Urban Green Space that also has sport and leisure facilities. The proposal seeks to split the site into four, with two areas to be residential, one to be an extension of the Aberdeen Science and Technology Park and the fourth to be kept as sport/leisure with managed open space. The western edge of the site is immediately adjacent to the Third Don crossing route. The site is well sheltered from exposure, is south facing, is well drained and poses no loss of natural features. The built/cultural heritage features are to the west of the site are not discussed in the proposed plans, the area is zoned for residential accommodation in the Development Option. Balgownie is in the Sports Pitch Strategy 2003 as having a public perception as the 5th equal best quality football pitch in Aberdeen. The removal of good quality playing fields is not desirable and this development option should not be progressed. In the Examination into the 2012 LDP, the Reporter concluded that the development of the open space and playing fields at Balgownie was not justified, and that the development of new facilities at the Sports Village would not compensate for the loss of local provision at Bridge of Don. The Reporter agreed that the Spatial Strategy of the LDP was appropriate and 8 that enough land had already been allocated to meet housing requirements. He concluded that the provision of improved sport and leisure facilities as part of the redeveloped site did not alter this conclusion. The overall vision and spatial strategy of the Local Development Plan is considered to be appropriate. Adequate housing and employment has been provided to meet the allowances set in the Strategic Development Plan. The Strategic Development Plan already seeks to supply a generous supply of housing land and there is no numerical justification to allocate further housing sites. Under these circumstances, it is considered that there are insufficient over-riding benefits arising from this site which would justify allocating it for development. Criteria Score Justification Exposure 3 Tree belts surrounding the site give good shelter Aspect 3 South facing Slope 3 The majority of the site is flat as it is currently used as playing fields and sporting facilities. There are a few short steep slopes between playing field areas. Flood Risk 2 Area has flood risk from the 1:200 year event which includes over land flow from the surface water system. It also has issue of standing water due to surface

    NORTH EAST SCOTLAND TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIP – 16 December 2013 8 Information Bulletin Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide information and updates for the Board on a number of matters not requiring decision. Prestwick Airport Members may be aware from press reports that the Scottish Government has agreed to the temporary running of Prestwick Airport as a nationalised operation. Rab Dickson attended the Cross-Party Group on Aviation meeting in the Scottish Parliament on 27 November where it was emphasised that the Government are not in the business of running airports, that the acquisition is seen as a temporary measure until an operator can be found and that there is no intention to compete for business with commercial airports. Representatives from Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports did express concern at the possibility of anti-competitiveness issues, but seemed satisfied with the assurances given. Implications for Aberdeen International Airport are probably minimal. Access to Laurencekirk Study Derick Murray, along with Ewan Wallace and William Munro of Aberdeenshire Council, met with various representatives of the Laurencekirk community on 14 November at Mearns Community Centre to explain the study that Nestrans is commissioning in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council and Transport Scotland to develop a robust evidence case and progress a preferred option to improve access between the A90 and Laurencekirk. It is felt that the meeting was appreciated and that the requirement for the study and the fact that local input will be a key element of the STAG process was in the main understood and welcomed. It was asked however if there are any interim measures that can be introduced to improve safety on the A90 Trunk Road at this location in advance of a long term solution being brought forward and delivered and a letter has been sent to Transport Scotland to seek their response to this request.

    Project Name: A90/A937 Laurencekirk Junction Improvement Scheme Document Title: Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment Report 9 Noise and Vibration 9.1 Introduction This chapter assesses the potential noise and vibration impacts from the junction improvements on the A90 at Laurencekirk. The assessment will consider the potential operational and construction impacts on existing noise sensitive receptors. The proposed scheme alignment being assessed is described in Chapter 2 and shown in Figure 1.2 and Figure 1.3 in Volume 3 of this environmental report. A Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 2 Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) was undertaken in April 2018 (Ref. 9.1) to determine the optimal option, considering environmental issues, traffic, socio-economic matters and the engineering aspect of the position and buildability of the proposals. The objective of the DMRB Stage 3 EIAR is to understand the noise and vibration effects of the proposed scheme, for both day and night time periods. The assessment was undertaken in accordance with guidance for Detailed Assessment provided in the DMRB, Volume 11, Section 3, Part 7 “Noise and Vibration”, HD 213/11 (Ref. 9.2). This will be referred to throughout the report as HD 213/11. The assessment considers the impacts without changing the alignment (referred to as the Do- Minimum) and future years when the new alignment is fully opened to traffic (Do-Something). These scenarios were generated based on traffic data taken from the traffic model which was prepared by Amey’s Transport Planning team. 9.2 Policy and Legislative Background Legislative Background The Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 The Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (Ref.

    On the March with the Romans Roman Campaigns to Conquer All of Caledonia (Scotland) Were Conducted Between the 1St and 3Rd Centuries A.D

    On the March with the Romans Roman campaigns to conquer all of Caledonia (Scotland) were conducted between the 1st and 3rd centuries A.D. by the Governor of Britannia, Gnaeus Julius Agricola and Emperors Lucius Aurelius Commodus and Septimius Severus. There were large camps across Scotland and one beside Stonehaven (Raedykes) and one near Inverness (Cawdor) were linked by roads incorporating marching camps, where the troops would rest between transits. On the main trunk routes between Keith and Stonehaven, there are 6 of these Roman marching camps close by the A96 and A90. Unfortunately, there is not much left to see now but if you’re driving between Inverness and Stonehaven on the A96 to the Craibstone junction and thence south on Southern Leg and then Fastlink of the AWPR before meeting the A92 at Stonehaven, you will be travelling not too far from the route taken by the Romans, marching to invade the northernmost parts of Caledonia, more than 1800 years ago. The tents show approximate positions on the map details shown below. Muiryfold: OS ref: NJ 489 520; 5km east of Keith There are little traces of the 100 acres marching camp here, some 5 km from Keith. The camp was used during the campaign by Emperor Severus who reached as far as the Moray Firth in his campaign to conquer all of Caledonia. Ythan Wells or Glenmaillan: OS ref: NJ 655 382 5½ km north of the Kirkton of Culsalmond A96 junction with the A920 to Oldmeldrum. There are traces of 2 marching camps 2km east of Ythanwells.

    11 Landscape This Chapter Details the Landscape Assessment of the Northern Leg of the Proposed Scheme

    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement 2007 Part B: Northern Leg 11 Landscape This chapter details the landscape assessment of the Northern Leg of the proposed scheme. The existing landscape is described and classified into areas of distinctive character which assist in the evaluation of the sensitivity of the landscape and the development of mitigation proposals. Impacts are assessed for both the winter year of opening (when all mitigation elements will be in place but the mitigation planting is not fully effective) and during the summer 15 years after opening (when mitigation planting has become established and contributes to screening). Appropriate grading of earthworks has been incorporated into the scheme design, and planting (including grassed areas, scrub and woodland) is proposed to improve the fit within the surrounding landscape. Fencing and replacement drystone walling is also proposed to tie in with existing field boundaries. Residual adverse impacts are predicted due to the severance of the open and wooded farmlands, hill and valley landscapes, and the introduction of the road corridor, its associated embankments and cuttings, overbridges, junctions, lighting and vehicle movement. The most significant impacts are predicted as the road severs dense mature woodlands at Craibstone, and open undulating farmlands and river valley at Goval to the north of the River Don. Significant impacts are also predicted as the road curves around the lower slopes of Tyrebagger Hill and severs the open farmlands around Kirkhill and Dyce, and between Goval and Blackdog. 11.1 Introduction 11.1.1 This chapter details the landscape assessment of the proposed scheme for the Northern Leg.
