The report is set out in 3 volumes: • General and policy objections (Parts 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6) and appendices; • The larger settlements – Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie and Barry, Forfar, Kirriemuir, Monifieth and Montrose; • The remaining settlements in the Town and Village Directory along with all other settlements. The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Scotland) Regulations 2004 implement European Union Council Directive 2001/42/EC (the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive) on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment. Under these Regulations, all new and replacement structure and local plans - and those started on or before 21 July 2004 but not adopted or submitted to the legislative procedure for adoption before 22 July 2006 - must be subject to SEA. Scottish Ministers, however, may direct that a particular plan or programme is exempt, if they decide that such an assessment is not feasible. Initially it was anticipated that the Angus Local Plan Review would be capable of adoption prior to 22 July 2006. Accordingly, a strategic environmental assessment would not be required under the terms of the Directive. More recently it was recognised that adoption by 22 July 2006 had become unlikely and a written request for exemption was submitted to the Scottish Ministers on 16 February 2006. The Scottish Ministers granted the exemption, as requested, on 28 March 2006. The inquiry took place between 23 January and 25 April 2006 in various locations in Angus. Where requested, the proceedings were conducted as a formal public local inquiry but, for the most part, the objections were discussed at informal hearings. The Reporters sat separately other than for the hearing of objections against Policy SC1, Housing Land Supply and Policy SC6, Affordable Housing. In considering objections, account has been taken of the evidence presented at the inquiry, written material, supporting documents and site inspections. When requested, the Reporters visited objection sites on an accompanied basis. Evidence submitted following the close of the inquiry was taken into account only if it was received before the particular matter to which it related had not been dealt with by the appropriate Reporter. Any late documents have simply been passed to the council to be considered as thought fit. Finalised Angus Local Plan Recommendations are made in respect of all objections heard at the inquiry and those where objectors elected to rest on written submissions. Objections deemed by the council as invalid (or not in conflict with the terms of the plan) have not been considered and are not the subject of recommendations. Overall, it is believed that the recommendations would lead to the local plan conforming to the provisions of the Dundee and Angus Structure Plan. Richard E Bowden Richard Dent Reporter Reporter Finalised Angus Local Plan Review Arbroath: Development Strategy Objector Reference Wm Morrison Supermarkets PLC 913/1/2 Procedure Reporter Written Submission Richard Bowden ______________________________________________________________________ Background 2.1 Page 103 of the finalised local plan review at paragraph 7 provides an 8 bullet point development strategy for Arbroath. This makes reference to promoting regeneration, development opportunities and investment within the town, to strengthen the role of Arbroath as a retail and service centre and to develop its visitor potential based on its heritage features. Of particular concern to this objection, the fifth bullet point reads: “Encourage new development and investment where this will strengthen the role of the town as a retail and service centre.” Basis of the objection 2.2 It is pointed out that the development strategy for Arbroath, whilst encouraging new development and investment does not distinguish between the town centre and locations outwith the town centre. On this basis it is argued that the Arbroath Strategy is not in conformity with the approved structure plan and conflicts with national planning policy, in particular NPPG8 Town Centres and Retailing. It is pointed out that the aims of the approved structure plan for town centres and retailing are set out in paragraph 5.7 of that document. It is noted that these include promoting town centres in their roles as important shopping destinations as the first choice for new retail development. It is also noted that NPPG8 supports this approach, for example by its policy objectives of sustaining and enhancing the vitality, viability and design quality of town centres as the most appropriate location for retailing and other related activities. Based on these considerations, the objector argues that the fifth bullet point of paragraph 7 on Page 103 of the FALPR should be amended to read as follows: “Encourage new development and investment where this will strengthen the town centre as a retail and service centre.” The council’s response 2.3 The council notes that Arbroath is the largest town in Angus and has a range of retail and other facilities, not necessarily in the town centre, such as the retail warehouse

  • Local Speed Limit Review Report By
    REPORT TO: CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE - 12 DECEMBER 2011 REPORT ON: LOCAL SPEED LIMIT REVIEW REPORT BY: DIRECTOR OF CITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT NO: 500-2011 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek Committee approval on the assessment and outcomes from the speed limits review that has been undertaken for all A and B class roads within the Dundee City Council area. This review was carried out in accordance with Circular No 1/2006 guidance. 1.2 RECOMMENDATION a Note that officers have undertaken a review of speed limit in line with Scottish Government guidance. b Approve the outcomes of the speed limit review as detailed in the report 2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 2.1 There are no significant financial implications as a result of this report. 3 BACKGROUND 3.1 The Scottish Government produced updated speed limit guidance in 2006 (Circular No 1/2006) on setting local speed limits and this guidance has placed an obligation for Road Authorities to undertake a review of speed limits for all A and B class roads within their area by the end of 2011. This guidance is to be used for setting all local speed limits on single and dual carriageway road, other than 20 mph limits, in both urban and rural areas. There is separate Scottish Government 20 mph guidance that must be used for limits below 30 mph. 3.2 Vehicle Speed has an impact on road accidents and injuries as well as developing safer, better environments for all road users within a road system which supports wider economic and environmental sustainable objectives.
