Crieff Hydro East
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
to blend rural stewardship and innovation that has characterised the history of Crieff
Hydro and perpetuated it as Scotland’s leading leisure resort and jewel in the Scottish
tourism crown.

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
Landscape setting, heritage
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
conservation and environment
How does the development
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
Development Principles
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.
Landscape setting, heritage
conservation and environment
How does the development
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.
How does the development
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.
Development Principles
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,
scale and form

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.

Graham Black
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.”

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
