  • 21 Cross Skigersta Road, Ness, Isle of Lewis (Ref: 11/00206)
    ENVIRONMENT AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES COMMITTEE: 4 OCTOBER 2011 APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION IN PRINCIPLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ONE DWELLING HOUSE AT 21 CROSS SKIGERSTA ROAD, NESS, ISLE OF LEWIS (REF: 11/00206) Report by Director of Development PURPOSE OF REPORT Since this proposal has received three or more letters of representation from separate parties, which contain matters which are material planning considerations, this application cannot be dealt with under delegated powers and is presented to the Comhairle for a decision. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendation being implemented. SUMMARY 2.1 This is an application for Planning Permission in Principle for the construction of one dwelling house at 21 Cross Skigersta Road, Ness, Isle of Lewis. The applicant is the Scottish Government, Rural Payments and Inspections Directorate. Five letters of representation have been received in relation to the proposal. The principal concerns of those who made representations are siting within the floodplain, location outwith the settlement, lack of infrastructure to connect to services, and lack of a suitable access. 2.2 Officers in the Comhairle’s Planning Service has received extra information from the agent to address constraints regarding foul drainage and flooding. SEPA has removed a holding objection following the submission of a topographical survey. Representations have been discussed below and the issues raised addressed. 2.3 While the siting of a dwelling at this location does not wholly reflect the existing settlement pattern, it is not considered that the development is contrary to the policies within the Western Isles Structure Plan and Western Isles Local Plan.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Chris Ryan on Behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris Businesses – 3 April 2008
    Submission from Chris Ryan on behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris businesses – 3 April 2008 Dear Sir/Madam 7-DAY FERRY SERVICES TO LEWIS & HARRIS The undersigned businesses, all based in the Western Isles, request that Sunday ferry services to Lewis & Harris should be introduced in the summer of 2008. This will be a necessary and long overdue development with the potential to improve the islands’ tourism industry in line with the Scottish Governments’ target of a 50% increase in tourism revenues. The proposed introduction of RET fares from October 2008 is also likely to result in increased demand and additional capacity will be needed to cope with peak season demand, particularly at weekends. However, our view as businesses is that Sunday services must be phased-in ahead of RET and that they should certainly be in place for summer 2008. Apart from the immediate boost for the local economy, this would give accommodation providers and tourism related businesses an indication of the response to weekend services and allow for business planning for the summer of 2009, which is the Year of Homecoming. Quite apart from the many social benefits, Sunday ferry services will make a major difference to the local economy by extending the tourist season, enabling businesses to work more efficiently and spreading visitor benefits throughout the islands. As a specific example, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, held in July, attracts over 15,000 people and contributes over £1m to the local economy. A Sunday ferry service would mean that many visitors to the festival would stay an extra night, enjoy all 4 –days of the festival and see more of the islands.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The first was in relation to the Change Fund and the second in relation to the MCA consultation on the future of the Coastguard Service. He stated that the Coastguard Review had commenced since the last meeting of the Community Planning Partnership in December 2010. Given the time sensitive nature of the responses, the issue had been discussed at the Executive Group.
