Appendix Banff and Buchan Appendix Buchan 1 In the delivery of the Local Development Plan (LDP2016) we are conscious that any proposal for new development within towns and villages is likely to be a local “main issues” even if it does not have the far reaching consequences of the 19 main issues reproduced in the bulk of the Main Issues Report. In addition we feel it appropriate to provide some information on the status of existing allocated sites in settlements so that communities can see exactly what stage development promoted by the LDP2012 might be at. 2 We have also engaged with Community Councils over what should be the “settlement objectives”. These are brief statements that try to capture what land use planning should try to deliver for individual settlements, whether supporting local services or providing opportunity for a specific item of strategic infrastructure such as a relief road. They represent a justification for any new allocations and guide development management decisions on the merits of development proposals. We have reproduced the settlement objectives from the Local Development Plan 2012 in this appendix, as modified by the advice we have received from Community Councils. 3 The settlement analysis also identifies “protected land”. This is land that was protected from future development because it has a specific value to the community. 4 Finally the analysis provides an evaluation of the development proposals that have been made to us for inclusion in the new plan. These are referred to as “officers’ preference” sites and “other options”. In the light of our conclusions on Main Issue 12 “land supply and distribution” there are no sites in Buchan that we would recommend are included in the new plan. However this view may not prevail and so it is important that we have views from the local community about the relative desirability of new sites proposed. The Officers preference sites represent those sites that we would commend to you, should additional development land be required. 5 We would welcome any comments you might wish to make on the settlement objectives, protected land, and potential new sites that should be included in LDP2016. Key Officer’s preference Other options not preferred by officers Recommended for inclusion in the Plan Protected land R Reserved land H Housing sites allocated in the Aberdeenshire LDP 2012 E Employment sites allocated in the Aberdeenshire LDP 2012 BUS Existing BUSiness sites EH Existing Housing sites SR Strategic Reserve employment sites Buchan 1 Index Settlement Page Number Ardallie 3 Auchnagat 4 Boddam 5 Crimond 9 Cruden Bay 10 Fetterangus 12 Hatton 13 Longhaven 16 Longside 18 Maud 19 Mintlaw 21 New Deer 26 New Leeds 27 New Pitsligo 28 Old Deer 29 Peterhead 31 Rora 38 St Combs 40 St Fergus Gas Terminal 41 St Fergus 42 Strichen 44 Stuartfield 47 Buchan Landward sites 49 Buchan 2 Ardallie Key Planning Objectives for the settlement: • Meet local need for housing. • Sustain existing local services. Reference Proposal Overview M1 Allocated for up to 30 houses with 15 Site requires some local road delivered in the second phase widening which is crucial to the progress of any future planning application(s). Road improvements to be approved before planning application(s) can be progressed, which has meant some delay to bringing this site forward. It is anticipated that planning applications will be submitted in late 2013 / early 2014. Conclusion No proposed changes to this settlement. Buchan 3 Auchnagatt Key Planning Objectives for the settlement: • Sustain existing local services. • Meet the local need for new housing. • Provide opportunity for small scale employment. Reference Proposal Overview EH1 Allocated for 6 houses Planning Application APP/2008/4399 for 4 dwellings refused in 2010 due to lack of information on contaminated land and drainage no further applications have been submitted. H1 Allocated for up to 31 houses No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. An application is not anticipated for this site until Autumn 2015 with delivery 2017 onwards. M1 Allocated for up to 16 houses and 8 No master plan, development framework small business units or planning application has been received to date.It is anticipated that planning applications will be submitted in 2014.. Conclusion No proposed changes to this settlement. Buchan 4 Boddam Boddam is a small commuter settlement, set within a coastal strip which is dominated by cliff-edged headlands, 1.5km south of Peterhead. Lying to the east of the A90, Boddam was originally a fishing village, and grew significantly when RAF Buchan was located on the terminal of the former Boddam railway line in the 1950s. It has a small local economy, with the main industrial activity at the harbour and part of the former RAF Buchan which closed in 2006. There is a primary school in the village. The core of the village is now a Conservation Area. The remains of Boddam Castle are located on a peninsula to the south of the settlement. Boddam is boarded by Peterhead Power Station to the north, and the A90 and Stirling Village to the west. Major energy developments, including several large transformer stations are proposed to the northwest of Boddam under proposals set out in the National Planning Framework 3. These will have significant implications on the landscape around Boddam, although the settlement itself will be unaffected. The Planning Objectives for the settlement are to: • Meet the demand and provide housing choice within the Strategic Growth Area and Energetic corridor. • Provide opportunities for development related to Peterhead Power Station and major energy developments, as set out in National Planning Framework (NPF) 3. • Sustain existing local services, including Boddam Primary School. Current Infrastructure: • There is capacity in Peterhead Academy and Boddam Primary School in 2016. • There is currently water treatment capacity. • Peterhead Waste Water Treatment Works has capacity. Buchan 5 Buchan 6 Existing development allocations to be carried forward Reference Proposal Overview EH1 Allocated for 6 residential units. Planning application pending for 11 houses. H1 Allocated for 6 residential units. No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. Draft 2013 HLA states development to begin in 2016. H2 Allocated for 9 residential units. No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. Development Bid sites There are no officer’s preferences. Other options which officer’s have not preferred Reference Proposal Overview Bcn009 3.5 hectares of The site is constrained and potentially can not be employment land and 35 developed as the entire site is within the consultation houses at Howe of zone for Peterhead Power Station. The site is also Boddam, Stirling Village, within the proposed Stirling Hill Local Nature Boddam. Conservation Site that seeks to protect geomorphology interests, but the small scale of the proposal is unlikely to adversely affect the qualifying interests of the protected site. Nonetheless, the site is visually prominent and is located to the west of the A90(T) which segregates it from Boddam, and its scale and location would result in over development of Stirling Village, affecting its character and setting. Two additional access points off the A90(T) are proposed, but the likelihood of delivery is uncertain. Bcn010 7 residential units at The site is within the proposed Stirling Hill Local Lendrum Terrace, Nature Conservation Site but the small scale of the Boddam. proposal is unlikely to adversely affect the reserve. It may be more appropriate to allow organic growth along Lendrum Terrace under policy SG Rural Development 1. However, there may be a waste water issue as soakaways have proven unsuccessful in the area. The amenity of this site may be affected by potential electricity transmission infrastructure associated with the R1 transformer station. Conclusion Boddam currently has three existing housing allocations totalling 21 dwellings. This provides a sufficient supply of housing land capable of becoming effective. A planning application is currently pending for 11 houses on site EH1 and the draft 2013 HLA reports that development on site H1 is to commence in 2016 and on site H2 in 2017. Buchan 7 On account of the existing allocations which satisfy the proposed Strategic Development Plan’s housing and employment requirements along with the bid sites segregation from Boddam, drainage issues affecting Bcn010, and potential landscape impact it is unlikely that any further allocations are required in Boddam. In light of these issues, it may be more appropriate to consider small-scale development (i.e. organic growth) in Boddam under supplementary guidance SG Rural Development1: Housing and business development in the countryside. Buchan 8 Crimond Key Planning Objectives for the settlement: • Provide housing choice within the Regeneration Policy Area. • Provide opportunity for employment within the Regeneration Priority Area. • Sustain existing local services. Reference Proposal Overview EH1 Allocated for 25 houses No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. H1 Allocated for up to 90 houses with No master plan, development 45 delivered in the second phase framework or planning application has been received to date. E1 Allocated for employment uses No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. Conclusion No proposed changes to this settlement. Buchan 9 Cruden Bay Key Planning Objectives for the settlement: • Provide local housing and meet local need within the Energetica Corridor. • Provide local opportunity for employment within the Energetica Corridor. • Sustain existing local services. Buchan 10 Reference Proposal Overview EH1 Allocated for 120 Houses No master plan, development framework or planning application has been received to date. EH2 Allocated for 14 affordable houses Aberdeenshire Council Property Service site. Full Planning Permission was granted in 2011 (application reference APP/2010/3715) for 13 units.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • 24 Sedimentology of the Ythan Estuary, Beach and Dunes, Newburgh Area
    24 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE YTHAN ESTUARY, BEACH AND DUNES, NEWBURGH AREA N. H. TREWIN PURPOSE The object of the excursion is to examine recent sedimentological features of the Ythan estuary and adjacent coast. Sedimentary environments include sheltered estuarine mud flats, exposed sandy beach and both active and stabilised wind blown sand dunes. Many of the sedimentary features to be described are dependent on local effects of tides, winds and currents. The features described are thus not always present, and the area is worth visiting under different weather conditions particularly during winter. ACCESS Most of the area described lies within the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve and all notices concerning access must be obeyed, particularly during the nesting season of terns and eider ducks (Apr.-Aug.) when no access is possible to some areas. Newburgh is 21 km (13 miles) north of Aberdeen via the A92 and the A975. Parking for cars is available at the layby by locality 1 at [NK 006 2831], and on the east side of Waterside Bridge for localities 2-8 (Fig. 1). Alternatively the area can be reached by a cliff top path from The Nature Reserve Centre at Collieston and could be visited in conjunction with Excursion 13. Localities 9- 10 can be reached from the beach car park at [NK 002 247] at the end of the turning off the A975 at the Ythan Hotel. There is a single coach parking space at the parking area at Waterside bridge, but the other parking areas are guarded by narrow entrances to prevent occupation by travellers with caravans.

The Peterhead OPR record of the event [1] reads:- ‘4th August 1819. John Forman, fisherman in Buchanhaven and Margaret Bruce his wife had a son baptised and named John’. When I started researching this part of my ancestry, I found it confusing that there were two John Forman’s one the son of the other who both married Margaret Bruce’s. To avoid confusion when both are being discussed together, I will call the father John Sr.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

    The Friends of the Book of Deer arranged their 32nd Seminar for the afternoon of Saturday the 24th September at 2 30pm in the Kemp Hall, Old Deer. Laura Dorantt ,a researcher currently working in Mintlaw library delivered her paper - Stuartfield and Crichie: an Historical Relationship - which she originally presented during a Conference in the U.S.A. The Conference was “ Dimensions of Political Ecology “ and the talk featured in the Rural –Urban Interfaces Session and was well received. “Between 1725 and 1850, some 450 planned villages were founded throughout Scotland of which 100 or so were built in the northeast. The planned village of Stuartfield is in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire and is surrounded by the Crichie estate, which in the 21 st century continues as a working farm estate. The lands of Crichie and Dens have been owned and managed by the Burnett Stuart family since around 1700. Mr John Burnett Stuart, a linen merchant and the then laird of the Crichie estate, built Stuartfield for theWhat purpose did she say? of Denissettling is caught workers by surprise to work as he in his bleaching fields.
