Public Exhibition7th November 2011

Stephen LeckieStephen Leckie is the fifth generation of his family to run Crieff

Hydro since the doors opened on Scotland’s oldest trading Company

in 1868. Since taking the helm in 1994, he has marshalled more than

£40m of investment to transform the property into an internationally

competitive leisure resort. Building on the success of the business,

Stephen has held various industry posts, including chair of the British

Hospitality Association (Scotland). In 2010 he was invited by Enterprise,

Energy & Tourism Minister Jim Mather MSP to chair the Scottish

Government’s Tourism Leadership Group. He is also the President of

the Perthshire Chamber of Commerce; a member of Crieff Community

Council and chair of the Scottish Tourism Forum.

Welcome

Crieff HydroCrieff Hydro is Scotland’s leading leisure resort, with over 200 4-star

hotel bedrooms, and 54 3 to 5-star self-catering units set on a stunning

900 acre Perthshire estate. There are four food outlets and over 60 indoor

and outdoor activities on site from hi-ropes to horses, quad bikes to laser

quest and tennis to trekking. The business welcomes up to 1,000 customers

a day, employs 550 people and has a turnover of over £17 million.

Welcome

Crieff Hydro East The quality of the Crieff Hydro brand and the growth of the tourism industry

in Scotland have resulted in significant visitor growth and the Hotel is now in

a position to expand its business. Development opportunities within the

immediate hotel grounds are limited and Crieff Hydro is now considering a

range of expansion sites across Scotland. The preferred scenario is to retain

the benefits of Crieff Hydro within the local area, on sites such as this one at

Crieff Hydro East. This will make best use of existing infrastructure, skills and

resources and brand association, as well as ensure wider economic benefits,

including employment opportunities are delivered locally.

Vision

World-Class Development Driving Local Benefits Crieff Hydro East aims to lever the ‘best-in-class’ status that Crieff Hydro has amongst

its customers and peer group, and continue to grow ‘organically’ for the sustainable

economic benefit of the local area, region and nation. Crieff Hydro East will continue

Hyrdopathic Establishment “It gives us great pleasure to hear that there is some prospect of

an institution of this kind being erected in Crieff. We understand

that Dr Meikle, of Loch-Head Hydropathic Establishment, Aberdeen,

was here this week, looking after a suitable site, and, we believe,

that if a sufficient supply of water be got, the site, fixed upon, which

is a most admirable one, is likely to be had on most advantageous

terms. We need not tell our Crieff friends that, in the erection of

such a beneficial establishment, they would secure an institution

that would go far to place Crieff in a position of prosperity that it

has never yet attained to.”

Company VisionThe vision is ownership and/or operation of a range of hotel, leisure and

complementary businesses in the UK. These businesses will be operated in

accordance with the enduring principles of the company’s foundation. Success

will continue to be measured by the delivery of high quality and value-for-money

in the perception of loyal guests. The concept of duty to all stakeholders, who will

be fairly rewarded, will remain strong. ‘Private’ ownership of the Company will

allow its board to focus on a direction driven by values beyond the achievement

of short-term profit. The Company will be based in Crieff, with the Hydro as its

core business.

Masterplan

The Hydro sits in a wonderful Estate and

much of the land is not used.

Experience at Culcrieff proves it will be

used if it is accessible.

Consider a Masterplan embracing the

whole Estate.

The current access is through the town

and main Hydro entrances – there is a lack

of awareness and visibility from the main

trunk road through Crieff.

Create access at both East and West ends

of the Estate

Increase public awareness and accessibility

and create the feeling of one single estate.

Masterplan 2012 – 2022A further £30m will be invested over the next 10 years to develop the grand

hotel buildings, self catering accommodation and leisure facilities at Ewanfield,

Ferntower, Culcrieff and Loch Earn:

> Maintaining the 4-star rating

> Improving the quality of service

> Increasing the range of activities

> Creating new local employment

> Growing visitor numbers

> Boosting the overall economic impact

> Setting the standard in sustainable tourism.

Connectivity & Access

Initial assessment work has been undertaken

to date to understand the site constraints and

opportunities including, access strategy,

junction assessment and speed survey. Further

transport assessments will be undertaken to

support the ongoing planning and design

process and a detailed transport assessment

will be submitted as part of the Planning in

Principle Application.

East

Will the development proposal

maintain connectivity throughout

the Crieff Hydro Estate?

Existing tracks and pathways will be

maintained or enhanced to retain access

to all estate facilities. A new spine road is

proposed in order to integrate the 900 acre

estate. Two new entrances are proposed

on Perth Road at Gilmerton and on Comrie

Road at Dalvreck; which will link the facilities

at Ewanfield, Ferntower and Culcrieff; relieve

traffic from the town centre and improve

public access to The Knock and woodlands.

How will the site be accessed

during construction?

A temporary construction road has been

identified to accommodate construction

vehicles throughout the phased delivery of

the development. This would be re-instated

to a pedestrian track following completion

of works.

Development Principles

To provide direct access to reception facilities

and accommodation units from the A85. This

will reinforce the identity of the project as

distinct from the Crieff Hydro Hotel.

To provide secondary

vehicular links to existing Crieff Hydro facilities

through enhancements to existing through-routes.

To maintain the current level of pedestrian/cycle

connectivity and safety including integration with

the wider path network.

Are the proposed access

arrangements acceptable in

terms of road safety?

The Access Strategy Report evaluates the

likely impact of the development of the

existing transport network. It concludes that

none of the existing junctions can be suitably

upgraded to accommodate development. It

proposes a new junction, designed to DMRB

Volume 6 specifications, to the north of the

Old Manse. This location has suitable road

geometry to ensure good visibility in both

directions and has been developed in

discussion with Transport Scotland.

EastConnectivity & access

Landscape & Archaeology

East

EastCrieff Hydro East – site views

Does the development impact

any listed buildings?

There are no listed buildings located within

the site. Five listed properties have been

identified within the village of Gilmerton,

however the setting of these listed buildings

will not be impacted as visual links between

the site and Gilmerton are heavily screened

by the site’s topography and existing

woodland planting.

Are there any archaeological

considerations?

No known archaeological investigations

have been carried out for this site. A

strategic desk-based review of historic maps

and archaeological records identified the

following features within the site boundary:

Military Road: This is a linear feature following

the alignment of the Crieff to Dalnacardoch

Military Road, completed in 1730. The route

alignment is identified on the existing OS base

but no visible remains exist.

Perth-Crieff Railway: This is a linear feature

following the alignment of the Perth to Crieff

railway line, now dismantled. A review of historic

maps identifies the alignment of the railway to

the south of Perth and it is unclear what, if any,

railway infrastructure was located near this site.

Landscape setting, heritage

Conservation and environment.

An initial site walkover and desk based

studies have been undertaken to consider

the landscape and visual impact of the

proposed development and to identify

both historic and natural designations.

A detailed Landscape and Visual Impact

Assessment and Phase 1 Habitat

Assessment will be submitted as part of

the Planning in Principle Application. An

EIA Screening request has been submitted

to the Council to determine whether a full

EIA will be required.

East

Archaeological heritage will be preserved

through the implementation of archaeological

watching brief during construction as appropriate.

This would be agreed with PKC through the

development management process


conservation and environment

Torlum Hill: rising to 393m AOD, Torlum Hill

provides a clear view across the local area.

Views to Torlum Hill are not possible from

within the site due to the visual screening

provided by woodland planting. However,

long views into the site from the northern

slopes of Torlum Hill may be possible and the

visual impact of proposed development from

this receptor would need to be assessed.

Milquhanzie Hill: situated to the north east of

the site, Milquhanzie Hill rises to 350m AOD

and provides broad views across upper

Strathearn, taking in Gilmerton and Crieff.

There is an ancient hill fort and communication

towers situated at its summit. Glimpse views

are possible from the footpath at the northern

site boundary, but it is not a dominant feature.

Strathearn Valley: the River Earn cuts a strong

valley to the south of Crieff. The associated

lowland, extending southward from the A85,

is characterised by agriculture and forestry.

Long views toward the site are possible from

vantage points within the valley. Woodland

planting in and around the site provides

significant visual screening and will minimise

the visual impact of the proposed development.

Ochil Hills: clear views across the Strathearn

Valley to the Ochil Hills can be taken from

high points within and around the site,

particularly from the northern boundary.

Views to wind turbines at Green Knowes and

Burnfoot Hill are also possible. Long views

toward the site from the Hills may be possible,

but any visual impact as a result of proposed

development will likely be insignificant due

to the distance between these points.

How does the development

respond to local landscape

features?

Five key local landscape features have

been identified:

Knock of Crieff: situated immediately to

the west of the site, the Knock of Crieff

rises to 278m AOD. The Knock is popular

with walkers and strong easterly views

across the site area and Gilmerton are

possible from the existing track and summit.

Glimpse views toward the Knock are possible

from the footpath at the northern site

boundary, but it is not a dominant feature

due to the site’s elevated topography and

woodland planting.

EastLandscape setting, heritage



protect biodiversity?

Enhancements to woodland habitat within

the central drainage channel are proposed

to form a green link through the site. This

strengthens the connection between currently

discontinuous green areas to form a high

quality north/south wildlife corridor associated

with the burn and proposed retention pond.

Enhanced woodland planting proposed at the

northern boundary will provide a continuous

east/west green corridor.

Are there any protected sites

within the site boundary?

There are no protected areas identified

within 1km of the site boundary.

Monzie Wood SSSI (2.6km from site) and

Connachan Marsh SSSI (3.7km e nearest

protected sites. The proposed development

is unlikely to have any impact on the

integrity of these sites.

East


To maximise views to local landscape features

from within new accommodation units.

To minimise the visual impact of development

on key receptors, particularly Gilmerton.

To maintain or enhance the integrity of the

existing mature woodland habitat through

interventions aligned with development delivery

and through ongoing land management and

maintenance.

To improve site drainage and minimise the risk

of localised flooding through the implementation

of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).

To minimise or avoid disturbance to known

archaeological features, where possible.




respond to the surrounding built

environment?

There are no built structures within the site

boundary. Two dwellings, Garden Lodge and

the Old Manse are located adjacent to the

site boundary. The settings and characteristics

of these properties have been considered

within the concept masterplan.

Existing mature woodland at the southern

boundary of the site provides visual screening

from the A85, Garden Lodge and low-lying

land to the south. This is retained to minimise

the visual impact of the development.

New planting is proposed to the north of the

Old Manse to reduce visual links from, and

provide a sense of privacy for, the existing

property.

Is the site subject to any

significant flood risk?

The site is not identified as a flood risk

and is outwith SEPA’s 1:200 year flood

risk area.


respond to the existing

topography?

The central hill is the most visually

prominent area of the site, with potential

long-views in from low-lying land to the

south. The Concept Masterplan avoids

sitting built structures within the area

indicated to minimise the visual impact

of the development.


To establish a self-sufficient tourism village

that is distinct from the Crieff Hydro Hotel,

including self catering accommodation and

supporting facilities. This distinction should

be reinforced through the provision of

independent on-site reception facilities.

To make best use of existing estate

infrastructure, facilities and maintenance

procedures by providing leisure facilities at

this site and other sites within the estate that

respond to the cumulative impact of visitor

growth. In particular, this will need to consider

the capacity of existing facilities in relation to

the quality of visitor experience.

To develop a layout that works within the

existing topography

To maintain the quality of design and service

provision currently associated with the Crieff

Hydro brand.

To ensure the maximum accommodation

density does not compromise the landscape

quality or nature conservation interests of the

local area, or design and service quality

aspirations

To provide leisure facilities at this site and

other sites that support facilities offered

within the wider estate.

Development concept, scale

and form.

Initial Drainage and Topographic surveys

have been undertaken for the proposed

development site. Approval will be sought

from Scottish Water for proposed drainage

connections as the design develops.

EastDevelopment concept,

Policy & strategic context:

Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) published their Main Issues Report (MIR) in September 2010. The MIR set out the

main land-use planning issues for the Perth and Kinross area and presented alternative sites and policy scenarios for

consideration. This then informed the draft Local Development Plan (LDP) to establish the vision and spatial strategy

for PKC to 2020. Perth and Kinross Council is due to issued the proposed development plan for consultation in

December 2011.

Halcrow Group Limited (Halcrow) was appointed by Crieff Hydro Limited (Crieff Hydro) to prepare a Concept

Masterplan Report for a new holiday village on their land to promote the site for tourism and leisure development

under the emerging Local Development Plan. James Denholm Partnership (JDP), on behalf of Crieff Hydro, initiated

discussions with PKC Planning Department regarding this scheme in 2009.

Following this further discussions were undertaken with Perth and Kinross Council to expand the scope of the

development to include assisted living accommodation/care home facilities in summer 2011.

The intention of this Planning Application is to gain permission in principle for a development comprising of a 100

bed care home/assisted living accommodation (Class 8), up to 200 holiday lodges, up to 500 sqm of retail/farm shop

(Class 1) and café (Class 3) and 1000 sqm of leisure facilities (Class 11) comprising swimming pool and gymnasium,

plus associated vehicular access off the A85, pedestrian and cycle routes, landscaping, open space and drainage.

A Planning Permission in Principle application allows the Council and the Developer to identify and address the key

issues relating to the proposed development. It is different from an application for Full Planning Permission because

it seeks to establish the principle of development with the opportunity to submit further details (e.g. siting, design,

landscape) at a later stage. For this reason the proposals presented here are conceptual to establish the principles

of a tourist development at this location. Future consultation opportunities to support further detailed applications

will follow.

Hyrdopathic Establishment “It gives us great pleasure to hear that there is some prospect of

an institution of this kind being erected in Crieff. We understand

that Dr Meikle, of Loch-Head Hydropathic Establishment, Aberdeen,

was here this week, looking after a suitable site, and, we believe,

that if a sufficient supply of water be got, the site, fixed upon, which

is a most admirable one, is likely to be had on most advantageous

terms. We need not tell our Crieff friends that, in the erection of

such a beneficial establishment, they would secure an institution

that would go far to place Crieff in a position of prosperity that it

has never yet attained to.”

create significant additional economic output for the Strathearn area:

> Creating 125 construction jobs per annum during phase 1 (£25m/ year 1 to 3)

> Creating 65 construction jobs per annum during the remaining development period

> Investing £100m in construction works and services

> Creating up to 300 new hospitality jobs during the operations stage

> Growing customers to around 1,000,000 per annum

> Increasing bed-space capacity to 736,000 per annum

> Producing a world-class destination for the UK & global markets

> Creating opportunities and enhancing the community for local residents and businesses

> Injecting more than £50m per annum into the Scottish economy.

Delivering the project:

Development will be phased starting at the north east corner of the site, followed by the southern and northern

areas to reduce impact on construction works on completed phases.

The first phase of development will also require investment to deliver site infrastructure and environmental

improvements, including:

> New junction with A85

> Site drainage infrastructure and interventions, including implementation of SUDS;

> Landscape and habitat improvements;

> Enhancements to secondary vehicular links to leisure facilities within the wider estate

> Temporary Construction Road

EastPlanning in principle:

The proposal of application notice was submitted to Perth & Kinross Council on 23rd August 2011 (Ref No 11/00013).

The aim is to submit an application for planning permission in principle by the end of the year and complete the planning

process in 2012. This would enable phase 1 of the development to commence in Q1 2013, subject to detailed consents

and funding.

The Planning in Principle Application will be accompanied by the following additional studies

> Transport Assessment

> Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment

> A phase 1 Habitat Survey at a minimum. An EIA screening request has been submitted to PKC

> Site Drainage Strategy incl SUDS strategy

> Archaeological Watching Briefs will be undertaken during construction where appropriate
