Annex 3: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Energy use Energy use in Fife Factors which may indicate a different level of energy use than the average for Scotland: No major centres of employment or large towns, and Lower level of use some large industrial plants No major ‘out of town’ retail or leisure developments Lower level of use Compact towns Lower level of use Dispersed population and high car ownership Higher level of use High travel to work levels out of area Higher level of use Lack of local commercial, retail and leisure facilities Higher level of use outwith major settlements Limited public transport network Higher level of use Tourism interest and golf courses Higher level of use Annex 3: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Heat Mapping The Scottish Government recently provided funding for Fife Council and Perth and Kinross Council to develop heat maps. A Heat Map brings together information on demand for heat and potential sources of supply for renewable heat. The map colour codes geographical areas based upon their likely demand for heat. They are made up by 50m² “tile” areas and buildings are grouped into these tile areas. The denser the area or larger the property, generally the more heat demand is identified. Major heat users such as hospitals, distilleries, factories or other employment uses are normally deeper or darker in colour than for example housing areas on the maps. Symbols can be electronically pinned to the maps to identify the highest heat demand users where these are more difficult to visually interpret. The map can also be used in reverse to identify heat supply sources such as power stations. Some of the perceived opportunities for planners arising out of heat mapping project include: • use as a spatial planning tool to identify the most commercially viable sites for renewable heat and heat networks, • potential use to tackle other environmental and social objectives, • considering potential renewable heat resources in Fife, • moving forward with Fife LDP and subsequent iterations (e.g. framing policy, designating sites and supplementary guidance), • creating a baseline GIS layer for use in SEA monitoring, • in working with stakeholders (e.g. Forestry Commission Scotland on developing best use of local woodfuel resource), and • in pre-application discussions and determining planning applications (e.g. Biomass plants at Tullis Russell/ Rosyth Docks/ Westfield). The heat maps can assist the Council when planning expansion areas and development sites, particularly the SLAs where there is an opportunity to exploit the potential of District heating systems and on-site renewable energy generation technologies. The heat maps will also assist in the future preparation of the LDP and potentially the SDPs, identifying earlier in the process, opportunities for exploiting heat demand. A further benefit could be to potentially use the map information for monitoring purposes, for example demonstrating that the local authority area is meeting its Government energy efficiency targets over a timeframe.

There are hourly connections to the major cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee from these centres. Some communities in the North East Fife Area have more limited services, for example Dunshalt which has no bus services. Peat Inn and Arncroach are served by only one service in the morning and one in the afternoon. Larger communities which are served only by an hourly bus service include Auchtermuchty, Strathmiglo and Crail. Wormit is served only by a two hourly service to Cupar. Although Newburgh is served by more than one bus service to Perth, routes elsewhere are roundabout. A number of the West Fife Villages also have more limited bus services with the exception of Kincardine, Cairneyhill and Crossford which sit on the principal Glasgow express bus route. There are hourly services between Alloa and Dunfermline with stops at the villages of Blairhall, Oakley, Carnock and Gowkhall. There are 20 operational rail stations in Fife. 14 of these stations utilise the Fife Circle route which has half hourly services to Edinburgh/Newcraighall normally beginning at Glenrothes with Thornton Station and travelling via Kirkcaldy or Dunfermline in alternate directions stopping at each station along the route and taking approximately an hour to reach Edinburgh Waverly from Glenrothes with Thornton. Express trains operate on the East Coast Main Line with stops at larger rail stations including Leuchars, Cupar, Markinch, Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing. There is an hourly rail service between Kirkcaldy and Dundee which stops at Cupar and Leuchars. Some additional Aberdeen trains stop in Leuchars and Inverkeithing. Ladybank is served by trains once an hour to Kirkcaldy, alternating between Perth and Dundee. Two trains a day, one in the morning and one in the evening each way stop at Springfield (Kirkcaldy – Dundee route). Communities in the East Neuk and West Fife Areas do not have direct rail services. Newport, Tayport, Wormit, St Andrews, Newburgh, Levenmouth and Glenrothes do not have rail stations and are reliant on services in neighbouring settlements.
