- he also alerted the meeting that bogus traders have called at several homes recently and that everyone should be careful.

8. AOCB

- Congratulations to Lesley Richardson who was named Best Teacher at the West Sound Community Awards.

- after discussion the meeting agreed to note the following. That recent proposed developments for Hunterston have focused on a COAL FIRED POWER STATION. However, there are other proposals worthy of mention and they are a MARITIME CONSTRUCTION AND DECOMMISSIONING YARD and a CONTAINER TRANSHIPMENT HUB. All 3 are part of the National Planning Framework for Scotland (NPF2) published in June 2009.

North Ayrshire Council have recorded their concerns regarding a COAL FIRED POWER STATION and a MARITIME CONSTRUCTION AND DECOMMISSIONING YARD.

WKCC have raised concerns many times about the A78 through Seamill being unsuitable to support such industrial developments as these proposed for Hunterston. The Scottish Government position is that the developer would be responsible for any road development, if necessary.

In May 2006 a report for the Scottish Government's Freight Transport Inquiry recorded that 'the proposed development of Hunterston will lead to a large increase in land-based freight traffic to and from the port road links to Hunterston also give cause for concern with both the A78/A8 through Largs, Wemyss Bay and Greenock and the A78 southbound through Seamill being unsuitable for large numbers of heavy goods vehicles. Presumably this was relating only to the Container Transhipment Hub at that time.

- Mr Angus Kerr expressed his view that WKCC had objected to the Planning Application for the Barony Church. It should be noted that Mr Kerr attempted to discredit WKCC regarding its submission and it was pointed out to him that the Community Council did not object and had only expressed concerns raised by the public regarding the plans. If it had been an official objection it would have gone to the Planning Committee, and it did not, it was approved under delegated powers by the Planners. Also the timescale taken to decide on the application was up to the Planning Department not WKCC.
