Appendix 2: Summary of responses resulting in no changes Rep. Number 135 4 Subject General Summary An extensive document was produced in 1996 that was largely ignored and this is why a poor response will be received from local residents, they do not see the point in responding. Draft Response: Acceptance: Do not accept Changes to be made Structure plans must be regularly updated to ensure they are relavant and meet the needs of the structure plan area. Extensive consultation has been carried out with the public and other stakeholders and a good response was received to the draft plan consultation. Rep. Number 182 1 Subject General Summary Around 315 acres of land is under the control of the client and they are in a position to deliver the development proposal. The land is located between Calder Park and Balmoral Group to the north, Kincorth to the west, Wellington Road to the east and Cairnrobin and Mains of Charleston to the south. They present an argument that this area of land would be appropriate for development in line with the Draft Structure Plan. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined within the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. 182 2 Subject General Summary Note and welcome the forecast requirements for 12,000 additional houses on greenfield sites from 2007-2016, this is necessary to meet the demand in the city. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made Support for this aspect of the plan is welcomed. 182 3 Subject General Summary Note and welcome the 105 ha of employment land in Aberdeen from 2007-2023, and a strategic reserve beyond that. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made Support for these aspects of the plan is welcomed. 182 4 Subject General Summary Welcome the need for a Green Belt review and would observe that when last publicly examined, the Loirston/Charleston area was found to have capacity whilst retaining the most important characteristics of the Green Belt. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made Support for this aspect of the plan is welcomed. 182 7 Subject General Summary Welcome preparation of Masterplans. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made Support for this aspect of the plan is welcomed. Rep. Number 14 January 2009 Page 1 of 244 183 1 Subject General Summary Though prepared under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the T&CP (Structure and Local Plans) (Scotland) Regulations 1983, it seems to lean heavily on the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006, the plan must be careful not to fall between two stools. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The plan is intended to reflect the moderning planning agenda, but meet the existing requirements for a structure plan. The danger highlighted is recognised. 183 6 Subject General Summary The issue of a housing need assessment has still not been addressed in terms of PAN74. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The Housing Need and Demand Assessement as required by SPP3 is highlighted in the draft plan on p.17 and work on this has commenced. The level of detail that the structure plan needs will emerge at an early stage in the production of this document, thus allowing it to feed into the plan in due course. Rep. Number 184 1 Subject General Summary Own land at Newmachar and put forward what they feel is a justification for its inclusion in the plan. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined through the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 185 1 Subject General Summary Own 1000 acres of land at Kirkton of Rayne and put forward a justification for its inclusion in the plan. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined within the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 186 1 Subject General Summary Put forward proposals to allow Old Leslie/Leslie to expand. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined through the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 14 January 2009 Page 2 of 244 194 8 Subject General Summary 2008 Employment Land Audit emphasizes that 20.6 hectares of employment land is currently under construction in Westhill, outlying the significant demand in the settlement. The employment land audit recognizes that the uptake of employment land in Westhill is due to the shortfall of land in the city. An application to address the shortfall for the provision of a further 11.25 hectares is currently pending, therefore there is a proven need for release of more employment land in Westhill. Draft Response: Acceptance: Do not accept Changes to be made Westhill has seen significant growth in recent years in housing terms and more recently in employment. The Westhill capacity study has identified some of the significant challenges posed by the further growth of the town with the AWPR and associated infrastructure measures needing to be in place before transport issues can start to be resolved. Until resolution further relase of land on the scale indicated would not be appropriate. However, it is appropriate to consider the role of Westhill in the context of the first strategic development plan in 2/3 years time. The draft plan identifies considerable employment land in Aberdeen. Rep. Number 195 1 Subject General Summary Own substantial land adjoining Peterhead and are keen to demonstrate a willingness to release land for development. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined within the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 196 1 Subject General Summary Own substantial land adjoining Portlethen and are keen to demonstrate a willingness to release land for development. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined within the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 197 1 Subject General Summary Support is given to the target on p.10 to work with the University to help make a positive contribution to the area. Also support the recognition of initiatives to strengthen the knowledge economy on p.20. However, it is requested that specific recognition is given to the economic and cultural contribution the University makes. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made This expression of support is welcome. The recognitiion requested would not add value to the plan. Rep. Number 198 8 Subject General Summary Banchory is particularly well placed to absord additional housing allocations. It is a popular location and benefits from a range of services, facilities and employment land to provide a sustainable mixed community. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The allocation of specific sites will be determined within the Local Development Plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 14 January 2009 Page 3 of 244 200 7 Subject General Summary If Cruden Bay is not accepted within the Aberdeen to Peterhead SGA the housing allocations in the LG&DA should be concentrated on the main settlements within the RHMA. They are already well served by community facilities and relatively well established road and public transport links to the City. These will require improvement, but this can only be done by encouraging further development. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The decision whether a settlement is in or out of an SGA and the allocation of specific sites will be taken by Aberdeenshire Council as part of the local development plan process. A copy of your representation will be forwarded to the relevant Team. Rep. Number 201 5 Subject General Summary The increase in housing should be concentrated on settlements that are well served by existing road networks and Fordoun is well placed to absorb allocations due to its wide range of existing services. Its proximity to the A90 ensures it is accessible to the wider area and public transport. The re-opening of Laurencekirk Station will benefit the wider area, including Fordoun, improving the popularity of the area for residential development. A pending employment application NW of Fordoun will help balance new residential allocation in the settlement, giving people the chance to work and live there. Draft Response: Acceptance: Noted Changes to be made The structure plan does not promote development at Fordoun, or any other specific settlement. At the level it operates, only designations for 'corridors' are made. The A90 corridor in which Fordoun lies (from S of Drumlithie to Laurencekirk) is allocated 1,000 units up to 2030, but it will be for the local development plan to determine exactly where development takes place and on what scale. Rep. Number 202 2 Subject General Summary The current population of St Cyrus is at a level which is unsustainable in terms of securing the long-term operation of the primary school and additional facilities within the settlement. Therefore critical that the levels of growth are permitted that sustain the primary school, operation and enhancement of the current physical and community infrastructure and procure additional facilities to support the future population. The re-opening of Laurencekirk Station will benefit the wider area by improving accessibility and the popularity of the area for residential development.

Like other mosses, this wetland area supports a variety of plant and animal species, even though it has been subject to certain development and agricultural degradation pressures. For example, the Great Crested Newt was found here prior to the expansion of the town of Portlethen. Many acid loving vegetative species are found in Portlethen Moss, and the habitat is monitored by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. True heather, a common plant on the The Portlethen Moss is the location of considerable prehistoric, Portlethen Moss Middle Ages and seventeenth century history, largely due to a ridge through the bog which was the route of early travellers. By at least the Middle Ages this route was more formally constructed with raised stonework and called the Causey Mounth. Without this roadway, travel through the Portlethen Moss and several nearby bogs would have been impossible between Aberdeen and coastal points to the south.

Obviously only the outcrops and ridge areas would have been habitable, but the desirability of primitive habitation would have been enhanced by proximity to the sea and natural defensive protection of the moss to impede intruders.

Thank you all for being so supportive over the past few weeks as we adjust to a very different way of life and a very different way of trying to be your children’s School! To members of our Fishermoss Family who are frontline keyworkers and NHS staff we applaud you all and we know we will never be able to thank you enough. Sincere thanks also to Fishermoss School Staff who have supported cluster colleagues to provide childcare at the Portlethen Hub based at Hillside School. Hopefully the following news from Fishermoss School will be a welcome distraction from COVID-19! Building Improvements This past term has seen a flurry of activity at Fishermoss with internal and external building work taking place. Our new build Nursery has been going up at an incredible rate which has added much excitement to playtimes and lunchtimes as our pupils enjoy seeing the progress being made. Our Nursery children have had visits to the site office and the construction team have certainly welcomed them as the children have appeared with home bakes including banana loaf and pancakes! Our Nursery children have been rewarded for the tasty treats by way of exciting learning experiences inside the diggers! The construction work going on has provided rich learning opportunities. Internal building work saw several of our classes being relocated to spare classrooms to avoid any impact on Learning & Teaching.

Neither had I, until I read a chapter on her adventures in ‘The Woman Who Rode a Shark’ by Ailsa Ross. I had 2 long train journeys recently where ‘The Woman Who Rode a Shark’ was my companion, and I paid no attention to time until the mid-afternoon con- nection. Kimi was the adventurer who swam with a shark on a research expedition to Mexico in 2013. Further chapters in this book tell stories about daring women, from the pirate queen Teuta in 200BC to Isobel Gunn leaving Orkney in 1780 for Hudson Bay and up to present times where Aus- tralian Jade Hamiester age 16, skied to the Arctic. The bright blue front cover of this book instantly invites readers to open up and from then on, readers of all ages will be engrossed. We relate to deep sea diving, mountaineering, space exploration, as adven- tures principally undertaken by men: Scott and Shackleton, Aldrin and Arm- strong were pioneers in exploration and we are familiar with their 20th century achievements, but Ailsa’s new book will make young people hungry for more information on each of these female characters.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use

    Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use

    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.
