1 Introduction Action programmes are important documents which provide clarity as to the steps required to achieve the goals and visions set out in Local Development Plans, indicate who should be involved and who is leading the action process and sets out clearly the stages and timescales to which the deliverers are working in order to let the public know how development the goals set out in LDP2 will be achieved. This Action Programme sets out the various actions needed to deliver the opportunities identified in the Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) for Argyll and Bute Council area (excluding Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park). There are set requirements for what is included in the Action Programme as follows: • a list of actions required to deliver each of the plan's policies and proposals; • the name of the person or organisation who is to carry out the action; and • the timescale for carrying out each action. It is recognised that the private sector, Key Agencies and our Community Planning partners will all play a role alongside the planning authority in helping deliver the development opportunities identified in the LDP2. The Action Programme will be updated at least every 2 years and will reflect progress with the identified development proposals. It can also be used as a key tool in instigating action and co-ordinating the activity of a range of agencies and organisations. In preparing LDP2 and this associated Action Programme we consulted and considered the views of the key agencies; the Scottish Ministers and those organisations named in the Action Programme. The Action Programme accompanying LDP2 follows the order shown in the Plan in the main. But where possible similar actions have been grouped together to simplify the document by avoiding repetition.

5 Allocations A key role of the LDP2 is to provide an effective land supply for new development during the lifetime of the plan. Therefore, applications require to demonstrate adequately how the potential of the allocation will be delivered in terms of capacity, infrastructure, open space, affordable housing, integration with the wider area, the development brief and phasing. This provision is primarily set out in the form of Allocations arranged under the headings of business and industry; housing; community facilities; minerals; mixed use and tourism. The Allocations are listed in the schedules of the Written Statement and mapped in the Proposals Maps. The schedules provide an indication of the number of homes that may be accommodated on the housing allocations; the site size of the other allocations; and for mineral allocations their anticipated life expectancy. These details are provided in order to ensure that the plan makes sufficient land available to meet anticipated requirements during the plan period. The housing provision numbers are indicative and in appropriate circumstances may be varied at the discretion of the planning authority, including place making principles. The Action Programme provides information on the key actions that are required to deliver the allocations. Development briefs have been prepared for allocations and are included below (these have not been prepared for sites where there is a masterplan or extant consent across the whole site). This Action Programme shows the main actions known at the time of preparation of this Action Programme. It should be noted that as proposals come forward other actions may be required to deliver the allocations that have not been identified at this stage. Masterplans have already been prepared for some allocations. These provide a framework for the development of the site in a holistic manner. Approved masterplans are material considerations in respect of related planning applications and require to be read in conjunction with the Report of Handling and Decision Notice. These may address some of the constraints noted either in full or in part. Housing Allocations Further detail on individual housing allocations in respect of developer, programming, planning applications, completions and remaining capacity is included in the annual Housing Land Audit, which is available in Storymap format. Note for all housing allocations consideration should be given to the potential for community food growing areas as part of open space/green infrastructure provision. See LDP2 policies 6 and 68 Early engagement with Scottish Water is strongly advised via a Pre Development Enquiry to Scottish Water, in particular if there is a desire to increase unit numbers over that indicated in the plan on a site.

H1001: Sandbank Site Size LDP2 Capacity Minimum affordable requirement Responsible / Lead Timescale Admin Area HMA DM Zone DM Zone Name Primary School Secondary School 1.98ha 58 25% Landowner/Developer Scottish Water Short BC Cowal Settlement Area Sandbank Sandbank; St Munns Dunoon Gramma School EXISTING USE: Grazing ACCESS: From B836 there is an existing access which would require to be upgraded. There is no pedestrian footpath on the B836. Alternatively from A815 (within national speed limit zone). There is a pedestrian footpath on the other side of the road but not directly adjacent to the site. FLOOD RISK: Risk of surface water flooding on parts of site to north and south indicated on SEPA maps. There is a problem with surface water flooding at the eastern corner of the allocation where it abuts with the existing housing at the Sandhaven development. The field currently floods and it has affected neighbouring properties. This would have to be fully and properly addressed. A minor watercourse flows adjacent to the site boundary which could represent a potential flood risk. A basic Flood Risk Assessment, consisting of topographic information in the first instance and a detailed layout plan will be required. A surface water flood hazard has been identified and should be discussed with FPA and Scottish Water. Appropriate surface water management measures should be adopted TOPOGRAPHY: Part of a large field which slopes down gently from west to east TREES: Tree group to immediate north of the site CONSTRAINTS: Overhead power line crosses through the centre of the site
Page 33
FORM OF DEVELOPMENT: Adjacent properties are 2 storey terraced dwellings. This is a prominent site that (although designated as settlement area) would effectively extend Sandbank further in ribbon development style. CAPACITY: As the site has capacity of over 10 units, 12sqm of communal casual open space and 6sqm of children’s play space (including provision for under 5’s) must be provided per dwelling. As the site has capacity of over 8 units 25% affordable housing is required. If a phased approach is proposed, these points should be addressed within the initial phase. FOOD GROWING: Consideration should be given to the potential for community food growing areas as part of open space/green infrastructure provision ACTIONS • Flood Risk Assessment required • Drainage Impact Assessment required – Surface Water Management Plan in place • Water Network – Water Impact Assessment required • Waste Water Treatment Works - Growth project is required. To initiate this the developer should demonstrate the 5 Growth Criteria. Early engagement with Scottish Water via the Pre-Development Enquiry process is strongly recommended for developers to begin discussions on growth requirements and build out rates. • Nature Conservation Constraint – check for European protected species (otters)

ACCESS: The access roads would require to be adopted if serving more than 5 dwellings. Housing courts as car parks served from an adopted road network may be an alternative. Sightlines to be 42m x 2.4m. Surface water currently flows to NE and this may require some form of attenuation. 2m footway should be provided across the frontage of the site where it abuts the road network and all access to be 90 degrees to the existing carriageway. FLOOD RISK: None within site but risk of surface water to immediate north of site indicated on SEPA flood maps. TOPOGRAPHY: Predominantly flat. Site slopes gradually downwards from south to north. TREES: No trees on site but some shrubs trees around perimeter. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGNATIONS: Local Landscape Area: Bute & South Cowal FORM OF DEVELOPMENT: Detached cottages in surrounding area.

A relatively straight road with a few junctions already. The entire frontage of the site onto Barone Road contains lay-by parking for residents so, if this lay-by parking is maintained, acceptable visibility from a new access might be obscured due to parked vehicles. May require nibs to be constructed to avoid sightline issues FLOOD RISK: No flood risk indicated on SEPA maps. TOPOGRAPHY: Relatively flat sloping down slightly to the south east TREES: There are a number of trees on the site and it would be desirable if some of these could be incorporated into the scheme layout. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGNATION: Local Landscape Area – Bute and South Cowal CONSTRAINTS: Power lines to south of site
Page 42
FORM OF DEVELOPMENT: The residential buildings in the vicinity of the site are relatively substantial, both in terms of footprint and vertical scale. The existing LDP states a capacity of 24 units. In examining the surrounding built form, it is conceivable that six blocks of four flats could physically fit into the site. However, 20 or more units would require equipped and casual play space, which might prove difficult to incorporate into the scheme. Perhaps, 19 would be a more realistic number which could also lead to a diversity in the type of accommodation – flats; semi-detached; and detached units. CAPACITY: As the site has capacity of over 10 units, 12sqm of communal casual open space and 6sqm of children’s play space (including provision for under 5’s) must be provided per dwelling. As the site has capacity of over 8 units 25% affordable housing is required. If a phased approach is proposed, these points should be addressed within the initial phase. FOOD GROWING: Consideration should be given to the potential for community food growing areas as part of open space/green infrastructure provision ACTIONS • Water Network – Water Impact Assessment required • Waste Water Treatment Works – Capacity dependent on numbers. Early engagement with Scottish Water via Pre-Development Enquiry • Drainage Impact Assessment required • Potential Asset Conflicts – 12” main runs immediately outside this proposed site.

Possible pedestrian access from Ardnadan Road which is a core path (C211(c) Ardnadam Heritage Trail Loop). Note Ardnadan Road is not adopted. FLOOD RISK: Risk of surface water flooding on the boundary area to the west of the site indicated on SEPA maps. Small watercourse/drain flows through allocation and potential flood risk from this source should be taken cognisance of. The minor watercourse potentially goes into culvert at High Road adjacent to the site boundary. TOPOGRAPHY: Site slopes down from the public road to a burn/watercourse that traverses the site. TREES: Trees at north west boundary BUILT ENVIRONMENT DESIGNATIONS: Scheduled Monument SM6552 Adams Cave. It is however unlikely that this setting would be affected especially as the boundary of the allocation has been adjusted from LDP 2015. OPPORTUNITIES: The site provides opportunities for active travel connections via the C211(c) Ardnadam Heritage Trail Loop and the C225 Dunoon to Sandbank core paths.

However this access would need to be upgraded and then cross land outside the site. Pedestrian access would need to be incorporated into the design of the development to possibly link with houses on Ardnacraig Avenue. FLOOD RISK: None indicated on SEPA maps. TOPOGRAPHY: Gently sloping TREES: Trees to north boundary of site providing separation from B-listed houses. These trees provide screening from the road, limiting the visual impact development here would have on the setting of these listed buildings. The woodland would have to be protected through the use of a buffer zone to ensure development did not affect root systems and measures would have to be taken during site construction to ensure the continuing integrity of the woodland. European Protected Species may be present in the woodland. CONSTRAINTS: Powerlines run across the south eastern boundary of the site.

A new/revised masterplan is required to incorporate the additional areas of land included in the LDP2 allocation, in particular demonstrating integration of the various mixed uses. The masterplan should consider, amongst other things, the landscape sensitivities at this coastal location of both additional areas of land including views of the site and the sensitivity of the development edge. Development Brief should be informed by the following: (a) landscape opportunities and constraints; (b) scale and sensitivities of this intricate coastline together with views from the sea/adjacent coast; (c) respecting small scale and intricate character of this largely undeveloped coastline including the setting of key features such as cliffs, beaches etc; (d) the aspiration for the site as a high quality mixed use development with a high standard of design which achieves a good fit with the landscape/seascape; € the need for new defensible boundaries to avoid infill/expansion; (f) the need to set out a robust landscape framework which will safeguard and potentially enhance the landscape/seascape character, draw on the vernacular and provide high quality linked multifunctional spaces.

6 Potential Development Areas The LDP2 identifies Potential Development Areas (PDAs). PDAs are areas where specific development opportunities may be supported through the life of the plan subject to those constraints identified in the schedules of the PDA’s being successfully addressed. Mini development briefs have been prepared for each PDA and are shown below. The briefs identify the use or range of uses considered appropriate and the constraints that need to be resolved. Proposals require to be assessed against all relevant policies in the development plan and take relevant technical guidance into account. The PDAs are listed in the schedule of the Written Statement and mapped in the Proposals Maps. Development Briefs are being prepared during the lifetime of the plan by the planning authority for some of the Potential Development Areas. Development Briefs are not required where these have an extant masterplan or have already have full planning permission across the site. Note for all PDAs containing housing consideration should be given to the potential for community food growing areas as part of open space/green infrastructure provision. See LDP2 policies 6 and 68 Masterplans have already been prepared for some allocations. These provide a framework for the development of the site in a holistic manner. Approved masterplans are material considerations in respect of related planning applications and require to be read in conjunction with the Report of Handling and Decision Notice. These may address some of the constraints noted either in full or in part.

Intervisibility between the monument and Loch na Cille are a significant element in its setting. Views to and from the east of the monument are currently limited by tree growth, and these views are not currently significant in defining this setting. Development to the east of the Abhainn na Cillemay impact on the setting of the monument, but this could be mitigated by maintenance of existing vegetation or tree planting between this development area and the monument. While it may be possible to develop a reduced number of houses (one or two) in the lower, western part of the PDA, these would have the potential to adversely impact on views from the cairn to the sea, and vice versa.

7 Areas for Action Area for Action are areas which, subject to resource availability during the plan-period, will be the focus for partnership or community action. These are areas that require actions to take forward regeneration and environmental enhancement activities which support the delivery of the spatial strategy and objectives in LDP2. Area remits for these AFAs are included in this Action Programme and other in other Technical Working Notes being prepared. These area remits may include investment and funding packages, land assembly and asset management programmes, development and redevelopment proposals, infrastructure provision and environmental enhancement proposals. Depending on circumstances, AFAs may coincide with other categories of sites such as potential development areas.
