Catterline, Kinneff & Dunnottar Community Council -

Proposed Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan available online

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:29:58 +0000

The draft Local Development Plan for Aberdeenshire is now online. Stonehaven/Dunnottar/Touks and Kinneff are covered in the Kincardine Settlements Statement Part 2, and Catterline is mentioned in the Housing and business development in the Countryside document. Full details can be found here.

The proposals are being presented to the Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee and Infrastructure Services Committee on March 9th and 10th. According to the Aberdeenshire web site, "these draft LDP settlement and site proposals are based on internal and external stakeholder consultation and submissions from the public consultation on the Main Issues Report. These are likely to change as they progress through the Area Committees and Infrastructure Services Committee".

Planning Page Gets a Makeover

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:54:31 +0100

The pages showing planning applications in the CKDCC area has been given a bit of a makeover, and now has colour coded markers on the map to show the status of current planning applications. It also has different tabbed pages for each year to keep things nicely organised. The biggest change, however, is not obvious at first glance. Instead of being entered by hand, planning application details are now extracted directly from Aberdeenshire Council's planning database by some fiendishly clever software written by Stephen Hall, so the list of applications will remain up to date without any human intervention.

Chairman and Secretary to Step Down

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 23:24:09 +0000

The new Local Development Plan (LDP) continues to dominate the business of the Community Council. So far our attention has been mainly on Stonehaven South and bids around Catterline, but we are now starting to focus on Kinneff and a representative of Alexander Adamson Ltd will be present at the next meeting to discuss bid K116 (adjacent to Fawsyde).

The LDP has not completely taken over, however, and other serious issues such as potholes and the exercising of dogs in Catterline Playing Fields are still being discussed. The Annual Project Grant was also discussed at the last meeting, with the following awards being made;

Workgroup to Consider Local Development Plan

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:47:17 +0000

The Community Council meeting held on 27th January was very well attended, with many residents from Catterline coming along to find out more about the recents bids for inclusion in the Local Development Plan (LDP). The meeting heard that developers and landowners have submitted proposal for areas to be developed as part of the next LDP, and the Community Council's have now been asked to contribute any areas that they would like to be included, as well as those they wish to see protected. These suggestions, along with the developers' proposals, will be included in the Main Issues Report to be published in May, at which point there will be public consultation on the merits of all proposals.

It was agreed to set up a working group to discuss the LDP further. The first meeting of this group will be in the Creel Inn on Monday 2nd Feb at 8.00pm. All welcome.

Community Council to discuss Local Development Plans

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:35:28 +0000

The next meeting of CKDCC (27th Jan 2009 at 7.30 in Catterline School) will discuss the proposals recently made by developers and landowners for possible inclusion in the next Local Development Plan, as well as other areas that the community might wish to see included in the plan.

Aberdeenshire Council have asked Community Councils for help in identifying other areas, over and above those already identified by developers, that the community might wish to be evaluated as part of the site search process.

There is a full list of the proposals already submitted on the Aberdeenshire Council's web site, although this list seems to still be subject to change as late submissions are added. For convenience, direct links to maps of the areas already submitted in the CKDCC area are shown at the bottom of this article.
