Introduction 1.1 Landscape designations play an important role in Scottish Planning Policy by protecting and enhancing areas of particular value. Scottish Planning Policy encourages local, non-statutory designations to protect and create an understanding of the role of locally important landscape have on communities. 1.2 In 2014, as part of the preparation of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Proposed Plan, a review of local landscape designations was undertaken by URS as part of wider action for landscape protection and management. 2. URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) 2.1 The purpose of the Review was to identify and provide an awareness of the special character and qualities of the designated landscape in North Lanarkshire and to contribute to guiding appropriate future development to the most appropriate locations. The Review has identified a number of Local Landscape Units (LLU) that are of notable quality and value within which future development requires careful consideration to avoid potential significant impact on their landscape character. 2.2 There are two exemplar LLUs identified in this study, Kilsyth Hills and Clyde Valley, which are seen as very sensitive to development. Both of these areas warrant specific recognition and protection, as their high landscape quality would be threatened and adversely affected by unsympathetic development within their boundaries.

  • Draw Press Release 2014
    Women’s Eights Head of the River Race Press Release WEHoRR – 74th Race features Olympians, British and overseas internationals and new victory ceremony. The 74th running of the Women’s Eights Head has received a total of 291 entries. On Saturday 15th March at 3:30pm, the 74th Women’s Head will take place from Mortlake to Putney. With the wettest Winter the UK has experienced since records began, many rowers have had their training disrupted and head races have been cancelled across the country. In recent weeks, the stream conditions on the Tideway have also been affected by the large volume of water from upriver. Providing the weather is favourable on race day, the stream should make for some very quick times and potentially allow course records to be broken. In a new format for 2014, the prizegiving for the race will be held on the same day on Putney Embankment, which represents not just a first for the Women’s Head, but a first for all the major Tideway Heads. The field has a strong showing from current and former international rowers, with no fewer than 11 Olympic Medallists in the field, who between them share 7 Gold, 7 Silver and 3 Bronze medals from Olympic regattas stretching from Los Angeles in 1984 through to London 2012. The race for the Head Pennant is likely to come down to a duel between the two British Squad boats. These comprise a composite crew featuring the likes of Gold Medallists Katherine Copeland, Heather Stanning and Helen Glover, racing against Leander Club, with Olympic Silver Medallist Frances Houghton in the five seat, and stroked by 2013 World Champion Polly Swann.

We have the exciting and challenging task of creating a strategy to develop rowing that will be relevant and successful in engaging with a new and growing participant base whilst ensuring we sustain and develop the club infrastructure which is so crucial in developing our sport in the community. Rowing is still a sport delivered nearly entirely by volunteers, and increasing and retaining them is important to our success. They are supported by a team of staff, many of whom work in the field with our clubs and delivery partners, and their role is also important to the growth of the sport. We are particularly aware with this Plan that we have a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity with the publicity and profile that is being generated for sport through the staging of the London 2012 Olympic Games, to play our part in delivering a real and lasting legacy for future generations.
