NOTE TO COMMITTEE: If the Committee is minded to grant the application, the planning permission should not be issued until an agreement under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 has been concluded with the applicant in respect of a restoration bond.

Protective Services Memorandum received 24'h March 2010 Contact Information: Any person wishing to inspect these documents should contact Mr Gordon Arthur at 01 236 61 6475 Report Date: 7thOctober 2010 7 APPLICATION NO. N/O9/01019/MIN REPORT 1. Site DescriDtion 1.1 This application is for the importation of inert materials for the infill and adaptation of an area of land for agricultural grazing. The site was formerly used for peat extraction (Moodiesburn peat workings). The entire area is designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (Moodiesburn Moss SINC). The site is triangular in shape and forms the northern and western edge of peat workings. Beyond the peat workings is an un worked area consisting of moss habitat with a relic area of heath / mire vegetation. The application site covers 2 acres. The site is bounded to the north by the A80 Trunk Road. Sporadic fly tipping and substantial unauthorised deposits of material have occurred to the north and west of the site. 2. ProDosed Development 2.1 This application is for the importation of inert material for infill of land and formation of a 2 metre high bund. Works are intended to improve the area covering the former peat works for grazing. It is stated that there will be a related separation and wetting of the adjacent moss for its enhancement. The site is connected to the A80 Trunk Road. 3. Amlicant’s Sumortina Information 3.1 The applicant has submitted a protected species assessment, an outline conservation management plan and a supporting statement of intended works. 4. Site Historv 0 None relevant. 5. DeveloDment Plan 5.1 There are no strategic implications and this application is therefore considered in relation to Northern Corridor Local Plan 2005 Policy ENV 13(B) (Nature Conservation). Policy ENV 32 (Landfill and Waste Disposal) also applies. 6. Consultations 6.1 A summary of comments from consultees is as follows: SEPA has no objections. Scottish Government Trunk Roads Authority has no objections and has provided comments relating to a revised site access. Greenspace Service has provided comments expressing concern that certain aspects of the proposal, including the bunds, could be detrimental to the long term health of the SINC. Protective Services has no objection. 7. ReDresentations 7.1 Following notification procedure no letters of representation were received. 8. Plannina Assessment 8.1 Section 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 requires that planning decisions must be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. 8 8.2 DeveloDment Plan Northern Corridor Local Plan 2005: In policy terms the site is covered by policy ENV 13(B) (Nature Conservation). ENV32 (Landfill and Waste Disposal) is considered relevant. 8.3 Policy ENV 13(B) sets out the guiding principles for protecting the Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) status of the area. The policy states that there will be a presumption against developments that could adversely affect a SINC. Where development is approved which could affect a SINC, the Council will seek to preserve, as far as possible, the site’s ecological interest and to provide for replacement habitats or features where damage is unavoidable. This particular application represents a mineral infill development, albeit with the applicant’s intention to assist in the rewetting of the SINC. It is also intended as a measure to eventually bring an area of land back into agricultural production as grazing land. 8.4 The applicant proposes to import infill material, excavate trenches and form clay bunds adjacent to the northern and western boundary of the moss in order to prevent water running out of the moss as it does at present. Notwithstanding the above there is concern that the proposed clay bunding around the infill site will result in pooling of water against the bunding to the detriment of the entire bog area. As such the development has the potential to harm an ecologically sensitive area and is therefore considered to be contrary to policy ENV 13(B). 8.5 In considering proposals for landfill, policy ENV32 (Landfill and Waste Disposal) balances benefits to the location against the impact of any proposal on the environment and amenity of the area. The policy makes specific reference to the need to protect Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation. The applicant has not satisfied the requirements outlined in this policy and the proposal is considered contrary to policy ENV32. 8.6 Other Material Considerations - Finalised Draft North Lanarkshire Local Plan. The Finalised Draft North Lanarkshire Local Plan is a material consideration. This site is designated as NBE1 A3 (Site of Importance for Nature Conservation). This policy seeks to protect the natural environment and concurs with the adopted local plan. It is considered that the proposals adverse effect on the character and ecology of the surrounding area means that it is contrary to this policy. This is as discussed in paragraph 8.4 above. 8.7 Schedule of Works /Methodology: The applicant estimates that the infill and construction of clay bunds will involve the movement of some 17000 tons of material from external sources to the site.

V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy.

The present so persistently claims our attention that we are in constant danger of forgetting altogether that past in which it has its roots ; and our loss in so doing is by no means insignificant. Those students of antiquity who do not allow their interest in the past to blind them to the claims of the present are continually emphasising the continuity of all life, and protesting against the habit into which some scholars have fallen of dealing only with phases of life. This is a protest which cannot be too often repeated. The heroic days of old are as if they were not, and we deliberately blind ourselves to every vision which would make us prize more highly both our heritages and our privi- leges. There are many ways by which we may preserve our historical con- tinuity, but hardly any method is likely to be so effectual as purposeful visits to 12 $refaa.

  • Death of the Regent Moray.*
    DEATH OF THE REGENT MORAY. 83 " scribed as right hardy, meikle, and stark," had a country residence in the parish of Auchtertool in the neighbour- " hood. Whither are you running?" he called out to " the leaders of the fugitives : You deserve to have your gilt spurs hacked off." This was specially addressed to the Earl of Fife, the same nobleman who founded the Abbey of Culross. Throwing off his ecclesiastical garment, " Bishop Sinclair seized a spear, and exclaimed Let him who loves Scotland follow me." The Scots rallied, and, led by the brave prelate, they impetuously attacked the enemy, who had not completed their landing. The Eng- lish were driven back to their ships with considerable loss. When King Robert was informed of the intrepidity of the " Bishop of Dunkeld, he said Sinclair shall be my bishop, under the appellation of the King's Bishop" By this name he was long remembered by his countrymen. DEATH OF THE REGENT MORAY.* A. D. 1510-1.
