1 Summary
TheCentralScotlandGreenNetworkisaNationalDevelopmentasidentifiedinNationalPlanning Framework2andassuchitsdeliverymustbeconsideredandplannedforatregionalandlocal authoritylevelswhenproducingplanningpolicyandindevelopmentmanagementdecisionmaking.
TheGCVGreenNetworkPartnershipdevelopedaGISbasedapproachtoidentifystrategic regionalopportunitiesfordeliveryoftheGreenNetworkintheGlasgowandClydeValley(GCV) StrategicDevelopmentPlan.TheanalysisusesarangeofGreenNetworkrelateddatasetsto identifystrategiclocationswheretheplanningprocessandthetargetingofresourcescandeliver multipleGreenNetworkbenefits.
TheapproachwasrecognisedbyEastDunbartonshireCouncilashavingthepotentialtoidentifyGreen NetworkOpportunitiesatthelocalauthorityandsettlementscalesprovidingdatawhichcouldinformthe productionofthetheirMainIssuesReport(MIR)andsubsequentLocalDevelopmentPlan(LDP).Tothis endthemethodologyandthedatasetsusedwererefinedandadaptedtoreflectEastDunbartonshire’s particularcircumstances.
Four sets of outputs were produced to cover a range of potential scenarios.These were:
1 EastDunbartonshirewideanalysisusingallknowndevelopmentopportunitiesidentified inLocalPlan2;
2 OutputsforeachofthefourMIRsettlementclustersusingallknowndevelopment opportunitiesidentifiedinLocalPlan2;
3 EastDunbartonshirewideanalysisusingdevelopmentsitesidentifiedthroughtheMIR consultationprocess;and
4 OutputsforeachofthefourMIRsettlementclustersusingdevelopmentsitesidentified throughtheMIRconsultationprocess.
Note: A more detailed rationale for developing four separate outputs is given at the end of the Summary.
Each iteration of the analysis identified geographical locations which represent an opportunity to deliver multiple Green Network benefits through the targeting of the planning process or resources. These were:

ThemethodologywhichhasbeenappliedtotheidentificationofGreenNetworkOpportunitiesMapping inEastDunbartonshirewasoriginallydevelopedinresponsetoguidancefromplannersfortheneedto representstrategicGreenNetworkopportunitiesspatiallyandgraphicallywithintheGCVStrategic DevelopmentPlan(SDP)MainIssuesReport(MIR).
AlthoughoriginallyconceivedtoidentifystrategicopportunitiesacrosstheGlasgowmetropolitanregion itwasrecognisedfromtheoutsetthattheresultantdatacouldalsobeinterrogatedatafinerresolutionfor morelocalisedopportunities.
Additionally,byreplacingregionallybaseddatasetswithEastDunbartonshirespecificdatasets,outputs whichweremorerelevantandusefultothelocalauthoritycontextcouldbeproduced.Theresultant outputswillbeusedbyEastDunbartonshireCouncilintwoways:
a Toidentifylocalprioritiesforactionandwhatthatactionmightbetodelivermaximum andmultiplebenefit.
b ToinformthedevelopmentofLDPGreenNetworkpoliciesandsupportingtechnical documentationand,ifrequired,supplementaryplanningguidance.
3.1 Approach
