This exhibition forms a part of the pre-application process for the proposed development of a new settlement known as EuroPark, located off the M8/A8 corridor between the existing settlements of Carnbroe and Calderbank.This is your opportunity to learn more about the proposals and to help us shape the future Masterplan for the site.

Please tell us what you think by filling in a feedback form, or simply talking to us, to help inform the design process before an application is formally submitted to North Lanarkshire Council in late 2016.

To deliver an exceptional mixed use, residential and recreational environment, supporting the revitalisation of existing communities and completing Eurocentral to the south. The development will improve and extend the green network and bring employment and recreational benefits to the residential communities that surround it.

GREEN HEART IN THE HEART OF SCOTLAND

AERIAL PLAN


A WELL CONNECTED PLACE

Planning policy for North Lanarkshire, against which any planning application will be determined, is set out in the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan (2012) and at a local level, the North Lanarkshire Local Plan (2012).

The North Lanarkshire Local Plan (2012) indicates that the site is within the Green Belt. Part of the site is designated as a Canal Corridor and part of the site is designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.

OPPORTUNITIES CONSTRAINTS

Private Car New access points around the site enabling local and trunk road connections towards Carnbroe, Coatbridge, Calderbank the A8 / M8 and towards Eurocentral.

Parts of the site are at a potential risk from flooding (SEPA). Broadly this land will be excluded from development with necessary mitigation put in place.

Initial ecology surveys show potential activity by protected species such as badger, water voles and bats. Further surveys will be carried out to determine this and necessary mitigation put in place.

Overall the site will have a minimal visual impact given its size. While visible, its impact on sensitive receptors or long distance views is low.

Pedestrians and CyclistsNew routes through the site helping open up the canal for recreational use and connecting the surrounding communities (and Eurocentral) with each other and with EuroPark itself.

Public Transport Road connections enabling public transport access to the site for those wishing to travel by bus.

GREEN NETWORK GREEN HEART

THE CENTRAL ISLAND IN A SERIES OF TWISTS AND TURNS IN THE RIVER, THE RIVERPARK WILL BE PRESERVED AS PUBLIC SPACE

IN PERPETUITY AND CONTAINS A VISITOR DESTINATION AND ARTWORKS ON A PAR WITH

SOME OF SCOTLAND’S MOST EXCITING NEW PLACES. AROUND

INCLUDING LOCAL RETAIL, A NEW SENIOR AND PRIMARY SCHOOL,

COMMUNITY ORCHARDS AND ALLOTMENTS.

An exceptional network of green infrastructure extending to more than 75 hectares (185 acres).

At its heart lies the Riverpark.



The planning application will be for Planning Permission in Principle (PPP), which seeks to agree the principle of the proposed development on the site in terms of the land use mix, broad extent of developable areas, access points etc. Detailed design – including the exact location of buildings, heights of buildings, elevations, materials etc – will be confirmed at a later stage during the Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC) stage. As such, the Masterplan shown is indicative, and subject to change as the design advances.

ILLUSTRATIVE MASTERPLAN


NEXT STEPSFollowing this exhibition we will review your comments and use these to shape our proposed Masterplan. In the meantime, we are undertaking a number of environmental and technical surveys as part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the development. These include assessments of:

• Landscape & Visual Impact;

• Ecology & Nature Conservation;

• Cultural Heritage & Archaeology;

• Socio-economics;

• Traffic & Transportation;

• Noise;

• Air Quality:

• Flood Risk & Drainage; and

• Ground Conditions.

These assessments will be presented within a comprehensive Environmental Statement (ES) which will be submitted as part of our application.

Your comments today will help us shape the Masterplan going forward. There will be further consultation through 2016 with an updated Masterplan prior to submission of an application for Planning Permission in Principle to North Lanarkshire Council.
