Regeneration. The £1 billion Dundee Waterfront development - including the prestigious V&A Dundee visitor attraction - offers a substantial programme of construction employment across five major zones along the River Tay as incremental development of the overall project takes place over the next decade and beyond. Dundee Waterfront will also create a major boost to tourism for both Dundee and Angus with an estimated three million additional visitors to the area and £1billion of business and leisure tourism spending between 2016 and 2025. Dundee City Waterfront encompasses 240 hectares of development land stretching 8km along the River Tay. The £1 billion transformation is a strategic, forward-looking 30 year project (2001-2031) that is transforming the City of Dundee into a world leading waterfront destination for visitors and businesses through the enhancement of its physical, economic and cultural assets. Infrastructure works are well advanced and the new V&A Museum Of Design Dundee, International Centre for Design is on course to open in summer 2018. Hotels, businesses and retailers are already reaping the rewards of the ongoing city transformation while expectant of significant growth as a further 7,000+ jobs are created. The Wellgate Shopping Centre will undergo a £21m investment next year to include an eight screen cinema and food hall, now due to be completed in 2019. In 2012, leisure visitors generated over £142 million in expenditure and business tourism generated over £55 million to the local economy and this is projected to rise significantly as the Waterfront project develops. Currently in the final stage of the infrastructure project (2001-2031), the city landscape is changing at a steady pace. Most of the £1 billion investment has already been committed, many developments have been completed and many are underway. The £1 billion Dundee waterfront project spans five focussed development zones, which are strategically positioned in order to benefit from the existing city fabric and expertise. Individually each zone is important in the local economic outlook, together they are transformational. Dundee is home to one of the UK's most dynamic life science clusters with 18% of Scotland's life science companies based in Dundee and 4,000 people employed locally in the sector. Dundee is also the location of one of Europe’s most accomplished hubs for computer games and mobile digital content development. Over 3,300 people in 350 businesses are currently employed in ...

Regeneration. Falkirk town is the main administrative and retailing centre for the area. It has a vibrant town centre which has been popular with shoppers for its mix of usual high street retailers and specialist shops. Throughout our area, some 10,400 people are employed in the wholesale and retail sectors. However, recent closures of retail premises due to the collapse of some national chains such as Woolworths have left gaps in our high streets which could prove difficult to fill in the current climate. The area is also suffering from increased competition from neighbouring centres such as Xxxxxxxxxx and new out of town centres in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The Council has commissioned a new retail survey as part of its revision to the Local Development Plan which will provide up to date information on local shopping patterns to update the survey carried out some ten years ago. Work has started on the regeneration of the area’s district centres. Developer partners have been appointed for all four centres (Bo’xxxx, Xxxxx, Grangemouth and Stenhousemuir). The regeneration of Stenhousemuir town centre is nearing completion. During 2008 a new library, park facilities and retail provision, including a new Asda store opened. The Bo’ness Townscape Heritage initiative continues to deliver economic regeneration and built heritage conservation to Bo’ness town centre. Regeneration masterplans prepared for Bo’ness foreshore, Xxxxx and Grangemouth are at an earlier stage in the development process, with community consultation completed. Planning applications for each are expected in the near future. However, with the economic downturn, investment in regeneration has slowed with an extension to the timescales for the delivery of the Falkirk Gateway (an ambitious project of commercial, retail and leisure uses on the east side of Falkirk). The economy of our area faces significant challenges as the “credit crunch” and resultant economic downturn takes effect. The economic recession during 2009 and beyond could inhibit the regeneration of our local economy and blight prospects for business, investment and jobs. Action has been initiated at national level to assist business and the economy however concerted action is also needed at local level to mitigate the effects of recession. As a partnership we are keen to act on behalf of local businesses, people and communities, leading the response to minimise the impact of the economic downturn and maintain the momentum of regeneration. We unders...
Regeneration. Falkirk town is the main administrative and retailing centre for the area. It has a vibrant town centre which has been popular with shoppers for its mix of the usual high street retailers and specialist shops. Like all town centres, it has suffered during the economic downturn due to the closure of major chains such as Woolworths and HMV, and vacancy rates have increased. However, it retains its position as a major shopping centre within the Scottish retail hierarchy. Transport: Our area is fortunate to be well connected with excellent transport links to the rest of Scotland and worldwide. The area lies at the centre of the Scottish motorway and railway networks. Electricity: In January 2010 the Scottish Government approved the upgrade to the 137 mile long Beauly to Denny 400kv electricity transmission line. This will allow the transmission of renewable energy generated in the north of Scotland to the Central Belt. The end of this line will involve the upgrading of the substation at Denny. Part of the length of the transmission line will be underground in the Glenbervie area. Water and sewerage infrastructure: Most of the Council area is well served by the water supply and sewerage systems provided through Scottish Water and there should be sufficient capacity to meet most planned future developments. There are some issues in some of the more rural areas, but Scottish Water expect to be able to upgrade capacity to meet all developments currently planned. Flooding: Substantial land areas within the Falkirk area are potentially liable to flooding, particularly along the Forth estuary and the Rivers Avon and Carron. Climate change may lead to more frequent and severe flooding than the more localised incidents which have been experienced in recent years. Environmental protection: The area is home to ten nationally and internationally important Sites of Special Scientific Interest, two Special Protection Areas for birds, a Special Area of Conservation for flora and fauna at Black Loch Xxxx and the Firth of Forth RAMSAR site, the wintering ground for many bird species. There are also very many locally important ecological areas requiring protection from development so that they can continue to be enjoyed by Falkirk residents. Health inequalities and physical activity Deaths: Along with the rest of Scotland, the death rate in the Falkirk area is continuing to decrease slowly, with the annual number of deaths falling to under 1,500 for the first time in 2009. Alth...
Regeneration. Our Regeneration outcomes focus on improving the support to the business and social enterprise sectors in North Lanarkshire, developing and maintaining a high quality infrastructure which attracts investment and drives economic and social regeneration, and developing Ravenscraig and our existing town centres. These local outcomes fit comfortably within National Outcomes 1 and 2. Our focus on developing strong and sustainable communities incorporates many of our priorities for the Fairer Scotland Fund programme in terms of regenerating our most disadvantaged communities and as such connects with National Outcomes 7 and 10. Improved support to North Lanarkshire’s business and social enterprise sector 1, 2 High quality infrastructure which attracts investment and drives regeneration 1, 2 Development of Ravenscraig and our existing town centres as centres of economic activity 1, 2 Strong sustainable communities and more attractive places to live 1, 7, 10 Our Lifelong Learning theme incorporates our commitment to learning from early years through to adult learning opportunities and recognises the importance of ensuring the provision of support to progress those most in need toward learning and training opportunities and ultimately, sustainable employment. Our lifelong learning outcomes therefore contribute largely to National Outcomes 3 and 4 with our focus on raising attainment, improving our vocational education opportunities and our commitment to adult learning. It should also be noted that we are committed to ensuring that we provide support to those young people and adults most in need to ensure they can access education, training and employment opportunities, and, as such, some local outcomes contribute to National Outcome 7, as well as 2, 5 and 8. We continue to deliver our community planning outcomes of ‘Improved curriculum and expanded vocational education opportunities’ and ‘Increased participation in alternative curricula options’, but our performance indicators for these outcomes are output-based and therefore sit ‘below the waterline’ of this Agreement.

Regeneration. Regeneration is a theological term that means a second birth or being born again, as Xxxxx said in JOH 3:3, "Xxxxx answered and said to him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'" JOH 3:7, "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'" Regeneration is the immediate result of faith alone in Xxxxxx alone. Man's righteousness is adequate only in comparison or relative to other humans, but is totally inadequate when compared to God's absolute or perfect righteousness, JOH 15:5.
Regeneration. The regeneration of the habitat should be undertaken by promoting natural ecological processes under an assisted natural regeneration regime with the aim being to accelerate, rather than replace, natural successional processes by removing or reducing barriers to natural forest regeneration such as soil degradation, competition with weedy species, and edge impacts. For the purposes of assisted natural regeneration of the habitat, the following measures should be adopted by the Developer (the Works): o avoid further unnecessary disturbance of the remnant vegetation communities; o undertake appropriate weed control measures; o supplement plantings and allow natural regeneration of plants including groundcover, understorey and canopy; and o install temporary or permanent fencing between the land the subject of the Vegetation Management Plan and tourism zoned land on the Site to control access during regeneration.
