Land Use Strategy (LUS) Delivery Evaluation Project - Volume 2: Appendices

This report provides the fundings of the Land Use Strategy Delivery Evaluation Project undertaken in Scotland between 2012 and 2014. It evaluates eleven case study land use delivery mechanisms to ascertain their effectiveness in translating the strategic Principles of the LUS into decision-making on the ground.

6. A degree of pragmatism has had to be taken in the selection of Development Fund supported projects also. For example, there have been issues contacting project leads and there have also been personnel changes for some projects. Accordingly, some projects considered in the evaluation are not from the 2012/13 funding year

7. A place for growth, a place in balance, a place to feel good, a place to belong and a place for nature

8. Priorities within the 2012/13 round of the CSGN Development Fund were: 1) joining-up the network (habitats and/or path networks); 2) woodland creation and enhancement; 3) addressing known greenspace deficits (e.g. greenspace around businesses, social housing and schools, community growing spaces and urban green infrastructure); 4) employability/skills development; 5) areas of multiple deprivation; 6) vacant and derelict land; and 7) collaboration and cross-boundary working
