                "description": "East Lothian Council wishes to obtain notes of interest and proposals for the following off -grid, biodiversity self-sufficient development opportunity requiring a Net Zero footprint: A part of Amisfield Park near Haddington, East Lothian, has been identified for an appropriate low environmental impact rural or leisure development. This area is a local biodiversity site. The site is within designated countryside as well as within Haddington Conservation Area and is situated approx. 800m east of Haddington. It is within easy walking distance through the park to all of Haddington's attractions including the golf club and public restaurant which is very close to the site. Any new development proposals must be compatible with the ELLDP & additional policies as stipulated within the Planning Guidelines document attached. Any new proposal would have to be complementary to the historic landscape setting of Amisfield and the town of Haddington. It must provide a well-connected network of paths with road infrastructure limited to connecting to the existing networks. Wider connectivity should be through the provision of green networks and in the wider area ensuring access for all in the community favouring, where appropriate, active travel and public transport then cars as forms of movement. One of the uses acceptable in principle is a caravan/glamping/camping site (it must not harm views to and from the A listed Walled Garden). Any static or mobile holiday accommodation and its surrounds must therefore consider how it will visually affect the visitor experience to the Walled Garden and its impact on the historic value within the wider setting. It would also have to be relatively low height and minimal footprint in order to avoid an unacceptable detrimental visual impact on the locality and of a design that could easily blend into the existing landscape. There is potential for better biodiversity management of the remainder of the site. Creating individual small spaces throughout the site to facilitate fixed and/or mobile accommodation, vehicular access and parking, as well as the necessary onsite facilities is essential, and using the existing land contouring and vegetation must be considered within the wider context to create an acceptable fit. The historic B listed single storey crenelated folly located within the site should be integrated into the development whilst maintaining and reinstating its current form. The views to and from the folly to the walled garden and beyond must be kept uninterrupted. A sensitive and appropriate proposal could include the opportunity to improve the management of the site for the benefit of wildlife and people. Development must not adversely impact the wider ecological network of the site. There is an area of the invasive species Snowberry on the eastern section of the site, could be an option for Biodiversity Net Gain mitigation work that could be explored further. A detailed Habitat Management Plan should be prepared to support proposals that could have an impact on the local biodiversity site and incorporate nature conservation considerations contained within Annex A of the Planning Guideline document. Prior to the commencement of any development, a successful applicant would be required to submit for approval in writing by the Planning Authority, a plan detailing the proposed Biodiversity Enhancement scheme for the site in line with National Planning Framework 4 Policy 3. This could achieved through at various stages of the application i.e. in the Preliminary Ecological Report or Habitat Enhancement Plan. Rent for this land would be obtained through negotiation with the opportunity to offset the first few years against capital set up costs working towards a fair market rent.. Please contact Procurement (procurement@eastlothian.gov.uk) in the first instance for any queries arising in advance of any proposal submissions.",
