This provides a systematic method for considering the likely environmental effects of any new plans, programmes and strategies (PPS) and for achieving the following aims: integrate environmental factors into PPS preparation and decision-making improve PPS and enhance environmental protection increase public participation in decision making facilitate openness and transparency of decision-making The Revised Environmental Report is an important stage in the SEA process. It outlines the contents of the Proposed Plan and highlights how the SEA process has influenced the proposals within the Plan. Purpose and objectives of the Plan The purpose of a Local Development Plan is to guide where different types of development can happen, and to contribute towards delivering the Scottish Government’s aim for sustainable economic growth. WestPlan aims to set a planning framework for the western part of the Highland Council area. It is supported by the Highland wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) which sets the strategic planning policy context for whole of Highland (with the exception of the Cairngorms National Park area). WestPlan sets out a vision which is based on four key outcomes which reflect the objectives of the Single Outcome Agreement 3 (SOA3), Local Transport Strategy and the Highland Council’s Programme. Following its adoption WestPlan will replace the elements of the Wester Ross Local Plan (2006); West Highland and Islands Local Plan (2010) and Ross and Cromarty East Local Plan (2007) which have been continued in force by The Town and Country Planning (Continuation in force of Local Plans) (Highland) (Scotland) Order 2012. State of the environment summary The tables below show a summary of statistics relating to each of the key SEA topics: Biodiversity, flora, fauna Climatic factors Some of the country’s most important Areas which are at risk of coastal, fluvial and natural environments which are protected pluvial flooding have been taken into account under international designations: SSSI with the use of SEPAs latest flood mapping (142), SAC (46), SPA (19), NNR (14), data.

Population and Human health Material assets Population of Plan area in 2013 was Within the Plan area there are: 39,201 (17% of the Highland Four housing markets: Ross and Cromarty population). This is projected to is West (part); Skye and Lochalsh; Lochaber and increase by 5% between 2012 and Badenoch and Strathspey (part) 2037. In September 2014 there were 21,164 houses Current population density is 3.9 people in the Plan area. 1 | P a g e per km2 (compared to Highland at 8.7 There is less affordable housing stock within people per km2 and 67.4 for Scotland). the plan area (16.2%) which compares with Highland (17.1%) and Scotland (23.6%). Lochaber has the highest percentage of affordable housing, with almost 1/3 affordable in Fort William. Affordable housing stock is generally lower in rural areas. The Plan area has a high percentage of second/holiday homes, with locally around 40% in some more rural settlements. Private renting is less common in Highland overall. Waste, transport and access are considered as material assets within the Plan area to be considered given the potential scale and location of development. Soil Cultural heritage Large areas of nationally important Within the Plan area there are: carbon-rich soils, deep peat and priority 5 conservation areas peatland habitats. 661 Listed buildings (45 A Listed; 347 B Listed There are no areas of prime agricultural and 269 C Listed) land within the plan area. Soils are 273 scheduled monuments generally infertile and principally used for forestry, recreation, grass production and stock rearing. Crofting is commonplace in the plan area, with many landscapes and settlement patterns being characterised by crofting townships and individual crofts. Water Landscape High number of rivers/lochs in good Within the Plan area there many of Scotland’s and ecological condition. Highland’s finest and wildest landscapes: 11 National Scenic Areas 15 Special Landscape Areas 16 Wild Land Areas Air No Air Quality Management Areas in Plan area. Generally the air quality in the area is good. Significant effects to air quality are most likely in the Fort William area, as this is a relatively industrial town with a number of existing businesses having air stack discharges. It also has a relative concentration of traffic. 2 | P a g e Expected Environmental Implications without the Plan It is considered that without WestPlan that there would be increasing adverse impacts on the environment from development. This is primarily because the existing planning policy does not provide sufficiently up to date guidance to direct development to the best locations. The Highland- wide Local Development Plan contains a number of general policies in relation to the strategic protection and safeguarding of the environment. However it relies upon up-to-date area specific development plans to provide a framework to support these policies in the local context. Assessment approach and key findings SEA objectives relating to the key topics were identified and are shown below: SEA Topic SEA Objectives Biodiversity, Flora and Fauna To conserve and where possible enhance biodiversity and accord to the protection of valued nature conservation habitats and species. Population and Human Health To improve the living environment for all communities and promote improved health of the human population. Soil Safeguard the soil quality, geodiversity and improve contaminated land. Water Manage and reduce flood risk and protect the water environment. Air Safeguard the air quality by ensuring development could not adversely affect additional air discharges and traffic congestion. Climatic Factors Reduce greenhouse gases and contribute to the adaptation of the area to climate change. Material Assets Manage, maintain and promote sustainable use of material assets. Cultural Heritage Protect and enhance, where appropriate, the area’s rich historic environment. Landscape Protect and enhance the character, diversity and unique qualities of the landscape. The vision and spatial strategy, and policies set out within WestPlan have been assessed against these objectives (Appendix 3b for those included in the plan and Appendix 3c for the alternative approaches) as well as site allocations (Appendix 4b for those included as allocations in the Proposed Plan and Appendix 4c for the alternatives). Baseline information on each of the SEA topics, shown in Appendix 2, has helped to inform the preparation of the Proposed Plan and the assessment process. An assessment matrix was prepared for the assessment of the vision and spatial strategy, and policies. A different matrix was prepared for the assessment of sites. As part of the assessment we also identified relevant mitigation measures. Our approach to mitigation is based on the hierarchy of avoid, reduce, remedy and compensate. Where appropriate we also look to enhance environmental features. The site assessments are shown in Appendix 4b. From the site assessments we have identified issues which may have a significantly positive and a significantly negative

  • 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.

In Scotland, twentieth-century landscape protection ideals were founded upon a landscape aesthetic shaped by the principles and objectives of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Romanticism. The concept that the ‘natural’ world somehow existed separately from the world of humans, as a potential refuge from a rapidly industrialising European society, meant that the Romantic landscape aesthetic left little or no room for the incorporation of visible elements of industrialisation. This aesthetic has seen only limited change over time. As a result, satisfactory compromises between land-use and landscape protection have seldom been reached: a situation thrown into sharp relief by efforts to develop Highland water systems for the generation of hydroelectric energy during the period 1919 to 1980.

    Isle of Skye and The Small Isles - Scotland Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW Take part in a truly breathtaking expedition through some of the most stunning scenery in the British Isles; Scotland’s world-renowned Inner Hebrides. Basing ourselves around the Isles of Skye, Rum, Eigg and Muck and staying on board the 102-foot tall ship, the ‘Lady of Avenel’, this swimming adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore the dramatic landscapes of this picturesque corner of the world. From craggy mountain tops to spectacular volcanic features, this tour takes some of the most beautiful parts of this collection of islands, including the spectacular Cuillin Hills. Our trip sees us exploring the lochs, sounds, islands, coves and skerries of the Inner Hebrides, while also providing an opportunity to experience an abundance of local wildlife. This trip allows us to get to know the islands of the Inner Hebrides intimately, swimming in stunning lochs and enjoying wild coastal swims. We’ll journey to the islands on a more sustainable form of transport and enjoy freshly cooked meals in our downtime from our own onboard chef. From sunsets on the ships deck, to even trying your hand at crewing the Lady of Avenel, this truly is an epic expedition and an exciting opportunity for adventure swimming and sailing alike. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is made up largely of coastal, freshwater loch swimming, along with some crossings, including the crossing from Canna to Rum. Conditions will be challenging, yet extremely rewarding. Swimmers should have a sound understanding and experience of swimming in strong sea conditions and be capable of completing the average daily swim distance of around 4 km (split over a minimum of two swims) prior to the start of the trip.
