  • Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient

    Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient

    Address redacted Glasgow City Council / Glasgow Life PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Saturday, 4th July 2020 Dear Sir or Madam, Re. Planning application 20/01352/FUL I am writing to record my objection to the proposal, in its current form, for the Active Travel ​ ​ Management Plan in Pollok Country Park. Whilst I support - in principle - the stated objectives and many of the elements of the project to reduce the presence of cars within the centre of Pollok Country Park, and to prioritise active travel. Its core proposal to remove traffic from the core of the park is excellent. However it has significant shortcomings in the high-level response to the challenge in the project ​ ​ framing. It is missing key detail with regards its impact on local residents and active travel users in the immediate vicinity. The traffic analysis in particular takes an insufficiently wide scope, and does not explore relevant options or considerations. The plan therefore requires detailed reconsideration, with additional mitigations or rework, and ​ ​ ​ also to take into account Coronavirus mitigations currently being put in place in the affected vicinity (Haggs Road), references below. Local resident impact; Traffic assessment is insufficient The Shawmoss/Haggs junction is poorly considered, with inadequate modelling of the wider ​ contexts: ​ ● The proposed no-right turn into Shawmoss Road (7.2.14, “Right from Haggs Road south to Shawmoss Road”, see also figure 7.3) significantly disregards the needs and impacts on ​ residents in the Shawmoss, Herries Road, Crossmyloof vicinity. ● It risks causing car traffic to ignore road instructions; or to bypass the junction and cut against the current one-way in Herries Road; substantially increase traffic on minor road ​ Whins Road; or an extensive diversion via St Andrews Drive+Herries Road, or via ​ Crossmyloof.

  • Fernbrae Meadows

    Fernbrae Meadows

    Fernbrae Meadows Proposed Local Nature Reserve Management Statement Contents Introduction General information Habitats, flora and fauna Landscape Cultural information Recreation and access Local community Conclusion Contacts Appendix 1: Objectives and actions Appendix 2: Maps Introduction Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are valuable places as they combine protection of the natural heritage with opportunities for people to enjoy, learn about and experience nature close to their homes. LNRs are: • Statutory designations made under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. • Special places which are rich in wildlife. • Generally, readily accessible and suitable for people to visit and enjoy. In declaring these sites, South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) aims to: • Protect them from unsuitable developments. • Manage and enhance the habitats to help biodiversity flourish. • Improve public access. • Help people understand and become more aware of the importance of the LNR. • Encourage community participation and volunteering. SLC have identified fifteen new sites (and an extension to the existing LNR at Langlands Moss) to become designated as LNRs. These encompass a broad spectrum of habitats including ancient broadleaved woodland, open water, wetlands and grasslands. The site management statements are written in conjunction with the South Lanarkshire Biodiversity Strategy (2018-2022), SLC Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy (2017-22), SLC Local Development Plan (2013) and SLC Core Path Plan (2012). Vision statement Across South Lanarkshire, Local Nature Reserves are a resource for local communities that balance excellent recreational and educational opportunities with valuable habitats for wildlife that are rich in biodiversity. General information Location and site boundaries: Fernbrae Meadows is located on the far western edge of South Lanarkshire, next to the communities of Fernhill to the north and Cathkin to the east.
