Sustainable Communities Local Development Plan | Monitoring Report 2019 | 2 1. INTRODUCTION Following adoption of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Local Development Plan (the Plan) in December 2016, a Monitoring Framework was prepared during 2017 and published in March 2018. This identified a series of indicators to be used to monitor delivery of the Plan’s vision and strategy. This Annual Monitoring Report covers the third year of the Plan, monitoring from January 2019 to December 2019. In some instances five or more years of data are used to illustrate trends. The monitoring report for 2020 will be published next year Balloch Dumbain -26 homes once all the data is gathered and collated. The report is split into Development Themes and follows the same structure as the Monitoring Framework. Specific cases are mentioned to provide examples of how policies have been taken into consideration in determining planning applications. As a visual aid in monitoring the effectiveness of the Plan, the following traffic light system is used: Targets/objectives are being achieved. Cameron House -136 bed spaces Targets not being achieved, but no immediate concerns over implementation of policy / objectives over the duration of Plan period. Monitoring indicates area of concern over implementation of policy/objectives over the Plan period. No conclusion can be drawn due to limited amount of data or monitoring system not set up for this topic.

  • River Forth Catchment Profile
    Published September 2011 River Forth catchment profile Introduction The River Forth catchment encompasses a large area – approximately 1029 km2. As can be seen in Figure 1, the catchment not only contains the River Forth itself, but also major tributaries such as the River Teith. Figure 1: River Forth catchment Land-use within the catchment is predominantly rural, comprising managed forests and farmland. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park covers a significant portion of the upper reaches of the catchment. In the lower-lying reaches, a greater degree of urbanisation can be seen with the City of Stirling and surrounding villages, interspersed with agricultural holdings. Water resources are important within this catchment with the lochs and reservoirs serving important functions in the supply of drinking water – indeed Loch Katrine plays a vital role in providing Glasgow with much of its water. In addition, the development of small-scale micro hydro generation schemes are increasing within the catchment. The catchment contains 46 baseline1 surface water bodies, six of which are heavily modified. These heavily modified water bodies have been designated because of the modifications necessary to enable the supply of drinking water. There are five groundwater bodies associated with the catchment. Further information on the River Forth catchment can be found on the RBMP interactive map. 1 A baseline water body is a river which drains a catchment greater than 10km 2, lochs bigger than 0.5km2, all coastal waters out to three nautical miles, transitional waters such as estuaries and groundwaters. A non-baseline water body is a river or loch which falls below the size threshold.

In 2009, in partnership with the National Park Authorities, this work was extended to determine the special qualities of the two National Parks, including the National Scenic Areas within them. The result of the work for the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is reported here. Main findings • The park is large and diverse with significantly different landscape characteristics in different areas. Hence as well as listing the landscape qualities which are generic across the park, the qualities for the four landscape areas of Argyll Forest, Loch Lomond, Breadalbane and the Trossachs are also given.

  • Place-Names and the Medieval Church in Menteith1
    Place-names and the Medieval Church in Menteith1 Peter McNiven University of Glasgow Introduction Historians and archaeologists of medieval Scotland have long recognised that place-names are an important source for the study of social and landscape history, and are a way of examining aspects of medieval Scottish rural society which are otherwise hidden from view. Place-names have the potential to offer unique information about many aspects of historical and archaeological research. One such aspect concerns the medieval Church. While it is true we know a great deal about how the Church was run in medieval Scotland and who many of the main players were, it is still unclear how the Church interacted with the laity and the land at parish level. Place-names are one way of helping us understand more about that interaction. Archaeologists and historians hoping to understand medieval rural society are often confronted with issues such as the uneven survival of archaeological remains, often due, at least in the Lowlands, to the rearranging of the landscape during the agricultural ‘improvements’ and industrialisation of the 18th and 19th centuries, or sparse documentary evidence, perhaps due to wars, the destruction of monastic libraries at the Reformation, or just plain carelessness. While some areas of Scotland have an abundance of historical material due to being centres of institutions, such as the medieval Church (St Andrews) and crown and government (Edinburgh), other areas have a dearth of such material. One such area is Menteith, that area of central Scotland situated between Stirling and Loch Lomond. It encompasses the towns and villages of Aberfoyle, Callander, Doune and Kippen (for a detailed definition of Menteith, see below and McNiven 2011, 18–26), and is perhaps most famously known for including the Lake of Menteith, the only lake in Scotland (see this volume, pp.

  • The Special Landscape Qualities of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
    From SNH & LLTNPA (2010). The special landscape qualities of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park . SNH Commissioned Report, No.376 THE SPECIAL LANDSCAPE QUALITIES OF THE LOCH LOMOND AND THE TROSSACHS NATIONAL PARK Note: The national park has been broken up into the landscape areas of Argyll Forest, Loch Lomond, Breadalbane and the Trossachs. There is strong overlap between the Loch Lomond landscape area used here and the boundaries of the Loch Lomond National Scenic Area (NSA). Hence If the special qualities of the Loch Lomond NSA are required, then they equate to the qualities of the landscape area under the heading Loch Lomond. In contrast, The Trossachs NSA is significantly smaller than the Trossachs landscape area used here. The qualities given under the Trossachs heading which will not apply to the NSA are those relating to Lochs Ard, Chon and Arklet, Aberfoyle, Callander, and the Lake of Menteith. The national park overlaps with a small part of the River Earn (Comrie to St Fillans) NSA, but the special qualities of this NSA are not included here. Summary List of the Special Qualities 1.0 General Qualities • A world-renowned landscape famed for its rural beauty • Wild and rugged highlands contrasting with pastoral lowlands • Water in its many forms • The rich variety of woodlands • Settlements nestled within a vast natural backdrop • Famous through-routes • Tranquillity • The easily accessible landscape splendour 2.0 Argyll Forest • A remote area of high hills and deep glens • A land of forests and trees • Arrochar’s
