Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Energy use Energy use in the East Fife area No local information on energy use is available. Factors which may indicate a different level of energy use than the average for Scotland: No major centres of employment or large towns, and few Lower level of use large industrial plants (except Leuchars airfield) No major ‘out of town’ retail or leisure developments Lower level of use Compact towns Lower level of use Dispersed population and high car ownership Higher level of use High travel to work levels out of area Higher level of use Lack of local commercial, retail and leisure facilities Higher level of use Limited public transport network Higher level of use Tourism interest and golf courses Higher level of use 124 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Transport demand – settlement density and comments on factors underlying the demand for travel Population by size of settlement, showing dispersal.

This indicates a high level of energy usage for shopping and probably some leisure trips to larger centres outside the area. Dundee and Glenrothes are, however, close to the main centres of population within the area. 125 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Car ownership and travel to work Tayport Strathmiglo St Monans 2+ cars 1 car St Andrew s No car Pittenw eem New port-on-Tay New burgh (Fife) Leuchars Ladybank Kingskettle Guardbridge Gauldry Elie Cupar Crail Ceres Balmullo Auchtermuchty Anstruther Scotland 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Source: Census of Population 126 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use On foot Average km travelled to work or study Mode of travel to work Public transport Car Tayport Tayport Strathmiglo Strathmiglo Strathkinness St Monans St Monans St Andrew s St Andrew s Pittenw eem Pittenw eem New port-on-Tay New port-on-Tay New burgh (Fife) New burgh (Fife) Leuchars Leuchars Ladybank Ladybank Kingskettle Kingskettle Guardbridge Guardbridge Gauldry Gauldry Elie Elie Cupar Cupar Crail Crail Ceres Ceres Balmullo Balmullo Auchtermuchty Auchtermuchty Anstruther Anstruther Scotland Scotland 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Source: Census of Population Source: Census of Population 127 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Cupar In (total trips: 7,792) Tay Bridgehead/ Leuchars (total trips 5,486) Dundee City Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, City of Perth & Kinross Perth & Kinross Angus Angus Dundee City Other Stirling East Neuk East Neuk West Fife Other Tay Bridgehead/St St Andrews Central Fife Andrews West Fife Central Fife Auchtermuchty/ Ladybank Leuchars area Cupar Cupar Newburgh Auchtermuchty/ Ladybank Tay Bridgehead Cupar Out (total trips 5,554) Tay Bridgehead and Leuchars (total trips 8,945) Dundee City East Neuk Aberdeen City Aberdeen City Edinburgh, City of East Neuk Perth & Kinross Angus St Andrews Dundee City St Andrews Other West Fife Leuchars area Edinburgh, City of Central Fife Newport/Tayport Perth & Kinross Auchtermuchty/ Other Ladybank West Fife Central Fife Tay Cupar Bridgehead/Leuchars Auchtermuchty/l Ladybank Newburgh Cupar Source: Census of Population 128 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use St Andrews In no students (total trips 11,707) St Andrews In (total trips 13,798) Edinburgh, City of Stirling Edinburgh, City of Perth & Kinross Stirling Perth & Kinross Other Dundee City Dundee City Other West Fife Angus Central Fife Angus Central Fife West Fife Auchtermuchty/ Auchtermuchty/ Ladybank Ladybank Cupar Cupar East Neuk East Neuk Newburgh Newburgh Tay Bridgehead Tay Bridgehead Leuchars area Leuchars area St Andrews St Andrews St Andrews Out, no students (total trips 9,450) St Andrews (total trips 10,316) Perth & Kinross Dundee City Perth & Kinross Dundee City Edinburgh, City of Aberdeen City Aberdeen City Edinburgh, City of Other Other West Fife West Fife Central Fife East Neuk East Neuk Central Fife Newburgh/Auch/Lady Cupar bank Cupar Auchtermuchty/ Tay Bridgehead Ladybank Tay Bridgehead/ Leuchars area Leuchars St Andrews St Andrews Source: Census of Population 129 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Commuting balance Commuting balance, Dundee only 16,000 2,500 Out 14,000 In 2,000 12,000 Out 10,000 In 1,500 8,000 6,000 1,000 4,000 500 2,000 0 0 St Andrews Cupar Tay Bridgehead/ Leuchars St Andrews Cupar Tay Bridgehead/ Leuchars Commuting balance - West and Central Fife 1,400 1,200 Out In 1,000 800 600 400 200 0 St Andrews Cupar Tay Bridgehead/ Leuchars Source: Census of Population 130 Annex 4: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Public transport The principal communities are served by a network of bus services.

In East Fife these are: Cupar, St Andrews, Ladybank station and Leuchars station. The lightest pink is the highest level of accessibility. The darkest red is the lowest. White areas are not served by public transport services within walking distance. The map shows accessibility to centres within Fife only – as a result the Tay Bridgehead is shown as an area of low accessibility. Source: Fife Council Transportation Serices 132 .
