1 - Policy 1: Principal Economic Development Areas
Assessed through the HRA. An
appropriate assessment undertaken as
steers development to the Port of
Dundee Principal Economic
Development Area. All other Principal
Economic Development Areas screened
out of HRA process as no likely
significant effect (LSE) on the integrity of
a European site was identified.
This policy has the effect of
steering development towards
European sites associated with
the River Tay. An appropriate
assessment has been undertaken
as part of the HRA and a policy
caveat agreed with SNH in line
with Scottish Government
Guidance issued in July 2012.
2 - Policy 2: Specialist Economic Development
Areas
The HRA identifies that this policy
could have no conceivable effect
on European sites because the
location of the sites in prestigious
and unique locations around the
City means there is no link or
pathway with the qualifying
interests.
3 - Policy 3: General Economic Development Areas
The HRA identifies that this policy
could have no conceivable effect
on European sites because the
location of the sites around the
City means there is no link or
pathway with the qualifying
interests.
4 - Policy 4: Ancillary Services within Economic
Development Areas
This policy has been screened out
during the HRA. The small scale
nature of development that may
be implemented through this
policy means that it is unlikely to
have a 'likely significant effect'
(LSE) on the qualifying interests of
the European sites.

5 - Policy 5: Tourism and Leisure Developments
Assessed through the HRA. An
appropriate assessment was undertaken
as this policy steers development
towards the city centre area identified on
the proposals map which includes the
frontage of the Firth of Tay.
This policy directs proposals for
tourist attractions in the first
instance to the city centre to
complement existing visitor
facilities. It steers development
towards an area identified on the
proposals map along the
waterfront where it is not possible
to rule out the risk of LSE. An
appropriate assessment has been
undertaken as part of the HRA
and a policy caveat agreed with
SNH in line with Scottish
Government guidance issued in
July 2012.

1 - Policy 1: Principal Economic Development Areas
The City of Dundee has been declared
an Air Quality Management Area and
there is an Air Quality Action Plan in
place. The pLDP policy on Air Quality
states that an air quality impact
assessment may be required for
development proposals and appropriate
mitigation measures put in place to the
satisfaction of the Council where there is
the potential to significantly increase
levels of air pollution in specific areas.
SPG is to be prepared to provide further
guidance.
Principal Economic Development
Areas are proven to be highly
suitable to both the transport
network and workforce
accessibility. pLDP policy on
Accessibility states that
development proposals that
involve travel generation should
be designed to be well served by
all modes of transport. Green
Travel Plans will be required for
certain developments. The
Council is working with transport
partners to continue to improve
the accessibility of more
sustainable modes of transport in
and around the city. A number of
transport improvements are
planned in the city including a park
and ride and provision of
infrastructure to install charging
points for electric vehicles.

SPG is to be prepared to provide further
guidance.
This policy offers a sequential
approach for new proposals
directing tourist attractions to the
city centre to complement existing
visitor facilities in the first instance
which are accessible by all modes
of sustainable transport. A similar
approach for leisure development
is supported through this policy
and outwith these locations
development will only be
acceptable if it is ready acceptable
by modes of transport other than
the car thus promoting more
sustainable modes of transport for
all new leisure developments. Any
impact on air quality will be
assessed through the Air Quality
SPG.
6 - Policy 6: Visitor Accommodation a/a
This policy steers development
towards an area identified on the
proposals map along the
waterfront where there could be an
impact on air quality. The Council
is working with transport partners
to continue to improve the
accessibility of more sustainable
modes of transport in and around
the city. All development
proposals will be subject to
assessment through the Air
Quality SPG.

1 - Policy 1: Principal Economic Development Areas
The council is working in partnership to
produce a Local Flood Risk
Management Plan. The aim will be to
determine a pre-emptive approach to
flooding. Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)
will be required for any development in a
flood risk area.
The reduction in land take in the
Principal EDA to the west of the
Technonogy Park will result in a
reduction of flood risk and
protection of water quality.
2 - Policy 2: Specialist Economic Development
Areas a/a
The change in employment
category from Principal to
Specialist EDA will not generally
result in any new impact on the
water environment. New land
identified at the railyards lies partly
within a flood risk area.
Development proposals in this
location will be specifically
assessed for potential impact on
flood risk. A programme of work is
being undertaken in association
with the Dundee Coastal Study
which will impact positively on
flood risk in the area.
3 - Policy 3: General Economic Development Areas Minor positive impact
There is a small reduction in the
General EDA at West Pitkerro
which removes employment land
within a flood risk area.
4 - Policy 4: Ancillary Services within Economic
Development Areas
No impact is expected from any
development of ancillary services.
5 - Policy 5: Tourism and Leisure Developments
FRA and the potential for cumulative
impact will be required for any
development in a floodrisk area.
Policy 5 offers a sequential
approach for development which
is directed firstly to the city centre,
district centres and leisure parks.
There is a potential impact at the
Waterfront. Development
proposals in this location will be
specifically assessed for potential
impact on flood risk. A programme
of work is being undertaken in
association with the Dundee
Coastal Study which will impact
positively on flood risk in the area.

6 - Policy 6: Visitor Accommodation a/a
This policy supports the provision
of a range of high quality visitor
accommodation within the city
centre and central Broughty Ferry
area. There is a potential impact at
the Waterfront. Development
proposals in this location will be
specifically assessed for potential
impact on flood risk. A programme
of work is being undertaken in
association with the Dundee
Coastal Study which will impact
positively on flood risk in the area.
6 a
1 - Policy 1: Principal Economic Development Areas
None. The reduction in the
Principal EDA west of the
Technology Park removes the
potential for further pressure on air
quality in this part of the City.
Continuation of this existing
allocation brings no new pressure
on air quality legislative limits.
Also see 3 (a) above.
2 - Policy 2: Specialist Economic Development
Areas
The change of designation of this
existing allocation from Principal to
Specialist EDA generally brings no
new pressure on air quality
legislative limits. New land
identified at the railyards could
generate traffic which effects the
City Centre Hot Spot areas. Air
Quality SPG will address the
impact of any development in this
location. Also see 3 (a) above.
3 - Policy 3: General Economic Development Areas
Continuation of existing allocation.
No impact expected which
produces additional pressure on
AQMA limits. Planning applictions
will take comments under 3(a)
above into account.
4 - Policy 4: Ancillary Services within Economic
Development Areas
No new additonal pressure on
AQMA limits.
5 - Policy 5: Tourism and Leisure Developments Potential for cumulative impact.
The locational choice for tourism
and leisure developments should
restrict the need for visitors from
outside the local area to travel to
destinations once arriving in the
City however there is a potential
impact from visitors from the local
area accessing local transport to
get to the destinations.

The majority of hotel and visitor
accommodation is located in the
city centre with a smaller scale
cluster in Broughty Ferry. These
locations are highly accessible to
the transport network and
sustainable modes of transport
which the Council is working with
transport partners to continue to
improve in around the city. This
policy encourages development to
locate to the City Centre.
