Current industry and FC guidance will be complied with during any operations associated with this plan, including any subsequent guidance revisions Drawing on these key aspirations North Highland Forest District (NHFD) have published during the plan’s ten year approval period. drafted a three year Strategic Plan (2014 – 2017). The plan establishes links with the national priorities underpinning these aspirations, detailing local priorities upon which NHFD plans will be founded. The NHFD Strategic Plan ensures that land management activities complement and enhance the local economic, social and ecological individuality of each LMP area. This plan aims to provide local context to the national aspirations and key priorities by detailing local priorities that will support us in achieving sustainable integrated land management across all areas of the National Forest Estate. Appendix 1 – The Forest Planning Framework in Scotland gives context to the purpose and scope of this Land Management Plan. In compliance with UKFS this is a strategic indicative plan intended to state the objectives of management and how sustainable forest management will be achieved by signposting the relevant guidance and best practice and spatially identifying management aspirations. This plan also provides a means to communicate our proposals to the neighbouring communities and stakeholders and serves as an agreed statement of intent against which implementation can be checked and monitored (see Section 4.4 - FDP Brief for details of the monitoring proposed). 1 | Ben Wyvis & Strathpeffer Woodlands LMP | NHFD Planning | pine (Pinus uncinata - MOP), Western Hemlock (Tsuga hererophylla - WH) and Serbian spruce (Picea omorica) are planted in varied mixtures across the LMP area, and 1.1 History of Plan together they cover 2.7% of the stocked area.

The term ‘Land Management Plan’ better reflects the wider scope of the document in dealing not only with forestry, but with designated site planning, open ground management, scheduled ancient monument planning and general integrated land management issues. The document’s key function remains to seek approval for felling and restocking over the next ten years. Garbat forest block, with Ben Wyvis in the background. Photo A.Baranska, NHFD The plan area is situated within the central part of Ross-shire, between Contin, Dingwall, Strathpeffer and Garve (see Map 1 Location & Context). The Land Management Plan area covers c. 9580 ha, with significant areas of open hill, archaeological features (both scheduled and unscheduled) and sensitive watercourses; the area offers potential for hydro development and Allt Dearg proposal is currently at the pre-application stage. 57% of the area is productive forest, 9% is currently felled in fallow, 26% is open ground, about 7% is under agricultural tenancy, less than 1% open water, and land under other management is under 1%. Sitka spruce (Picea sithensis – SS) is the predominant conifer in the productive high forest at almost 36% of the stocked area, Scots pine (Pinus silvestris – SP) has the second largest share at 22.5%, followed by Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta – LP) which covers nearly 20% of the afforested area.Hybrid larch (Larix x eurolepsis – HL), European larch (Larix decidua – EL), and Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi – JL) cover about 3.5%, while other conifer species, such as Norway spruce (Picea abies – NS), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziensi –DF), Grand fir (Abies grandis – GF) ,Mountain 2 | Ben Wyvis & Strathpeffer Woodlands LMP | NHFD Planning | 2.0 Analysis of previous plans A scoping meeting was held on 13th of April 2016 involving key Forest District staff, to analyse the aims of the previous plan and to agree objectives for the FDP brief.

  • FANNICH HILLS Site of Special Scientific Interest
    Anancaun FANNICH HILLS Kinlochewe Ross-shire Site of Special Scientific Interest IV22 2PA SITE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Tel. 01445 760254 Fax. 01445 760301 Site code: 627 Purpose This is a public statement prepared by SNH for owners and occupiers of the SSSI. It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification and does not remove the need to apply for consent for operations requiring consent. We welcome your views on this statement. Description of the site Fannich Hills is a large upland Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in the northern Highlands which encompasses most of the mountains between Loch Fannich to the south and Braemore Junction to the north. It contains geological, landform and biological features of national importance. The site has close affinities with Beinn Dearg which lies immediately to the north and together they are representative of the vegetation communities which are characteristic of upland Ross and Cromarty. Most of the Fannich Hills SSSI is also a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The Fannich Hills SSSI contains excellent exposures of metamorphic rocks belonging to the Moine group. These rocks were originally formed about 1000 million years ago as sands and muds in an ancient sea. However they were then subject to an episode of mountain building, being metamorphosed and folded together with the older, underlying Lewisian gneisses. During a second episode of mountain-building, around 450 million years ago, the rock sequence was further deformed and rocks from the east were moved over rocks to the west along faults such as the Sgurr Beag Slide, which is exposed in the Fannich Hills SSSI.

  • 2. Remembering Strathpeffer.Pdf
    Remembering the Strathpeffer Area: 2. Strathpeffer Photo © Margaret Spark Photo ©Margaret Spark During 2015 people gathered at Strathpeffer Community Centre and Achterneed Hall to remember the physical remains of the Strathpeffer area – Jamestown, Strathpeffer, the Heights, Achterneed and Milnain – focussing on buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. They built on previous sessions which had begun to look at Strathpeffer. Using old maps, photographs (some more than a century old), various printed sources, and memories spanning over 80 years, information about over 350 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the school joined us as well for Strathpeffer sessionsas part of their project investigating World War II. This report summarises the results of the meetings focussing on Strathpeffer, including Kinellan. The details have also been forwarded to heritage databases: the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (her.highland.gov.uk) and Historic Environment Scotland’s Canmore (canmore.org.uk) where they will provide valuable new information about the heritage of the area. The 2015 sessions were part of a project organised by ARCH and Strathpeffer Community Centre, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Mackenzie New York Villa Trust. Funding for the smaller projects in previous years was provided by Generations Working Together and High Life Highland. Thanks also to the Highland Museum of Childhood for allowing us to see text panels from their 2009 ‘Hands Across the Sea’ exhibition. But most of all thanks to everyone who has shared their memories and photographs, often braving difficult weather. Any additions or corrections should be sent to ARCH at [email protected] or The Goods Shed, The Old Station, Strathpeffer, IV14 9DH.

  • Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.2 Corridor 2: Inverness to Ullapool and Western Isles 7.2.1 Setting the Context Corridor 2 extends north and west from Inverness to northwest Scotland and includes onward connections to the Western Isles (Eilean Siar), as shown in Figure 7.2.1. It connects the city of Inverness with Ullapool, which are approximately 92 kilometres apart. Ullapool has an onward ferry connection to Stornoway. The population of the corridor (excluding Eilean Siar) is approximately 16,000 and little change is forecast over the period to 2022333. In contrast, the population of Eilean Siar is forecast to decline over this period by almost 15 per cent334. However the largest change in population overall, shown in Figure 7.2.2, is in and around Inverness. It is expected that there will be employment growth of approximately four per cent in the Highland council area as a whole, but a decline of similar magnitude in Eilean Siar335. Areas of greatest change are shown in Figure 7.2.2. The national level of car ownership, measured as a percentage of households with access to a car, is 67 per cent. Within the corridor, car ownership levels are above average, as expected, due to the rural nature of the corridor: • Highland council area: 75 per cent; and • Eilean Siar: 70 per cent336. The economic inactivity rate within the Highlands and Eilean Siar was around 16 per cent in 2005. This is slightly below the Scottish average of 21 per cent337.

  • Marine Fish Farm at Loch Kanaird, Eastern Side Of
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 6.2 NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLN/092/13 22 October 2013 13/01494/FUL: Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd Loch Kanaird, Eastern Side Of Isle Martin Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Marine Fish Farm (Atlantic Salmon) Alterations to existing site to create single group of 46 square steel pens each 15m x 15m and allow for the installation of an automated feed barge. Recommendation - GRANT planning permission Ward : 06 - Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Development category : Local Pre-determination hearing : None Reason referred to Committee : More than 5 objections and objection from consultee which cannot be resolved by conditions. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposed development involves replacement of equipment at an existing salmon farm and addition of a feed barge. This would expand the physical installation (a31% increase in the total cage area) but the moorings area required would be more compact (a 37% decrease). The two groups of existing square cages, one steel and the other wood, would be replaced by a single group of 46 square steel cages each 15m x 15m. The developer also wishes to install a 150-tonne capacity automated feed barge 10m x 14.5m by 5.5m high when empty to distribute feed to the fish cages. The applicant intends to install moorings between the fish farm installation and Isle Martin to allow the mooring of harvesting raft and similar equipment when they are not in use. 1.2 The applicant is of the view that the existing ageing cage configuration is no longer fit for purpose.
