INTRODUCTION
VISION
This exhibition forms a part of
the pre-application process
for the proposed development
of a new settlement known as
EuroPark, located off the M8/A8
corridor between the existing
settlements of Carnbroe and
Calderbank.
GREEN HEART
This is your opportunity to learn more about
the proposals and to help us shape the future
Masterplan for the site.
AND SITTING AT THE HEART
OF THE RIVERPARK AN
ARTWORK OR SCULPTURE
OF NOTE. YOU ONLY NEED TO
LOOK AT THE IMPACT
THE KELPIES HAVE HAD TO
SEE THE DIFFERENCE
THIS CAN MAKE
Please tell us what you think by filling in a
feedback form, or simply talking to us, to
help inform the design process before an
application is formally submitted to North
Lanarkshire Council in late 2016.
IN THE HEART OF SCOTLAND
To deliver an exceptional mixed
use, residential and recreational
environment, supporting the
revitalisation of existing communities
and completing Eurocentral to the
south. The development will improve
and extend the green network and
bring employment and recreational
benefits to the residential
communities that surround it.
Who is Orchard Brae Limited?
Orchard Brae Ltd is a local developer. It has
an agreement with all of the individual land
owners to develop the land within the site
boundary. Together with its project team,
many of whom you can meet today, it will
be preparing the planning application and
delivering the development. You will be able
to follow progress at:

Parts of the site are at a potential
risk from flooding (SEPA). Broadly
this land will be excluded from
development with necessary
mitigation put in place.
Initial ecology surveys show
potential activity by protected
species such as badger, water
voles and bats. Further surveys
will be carried out to determine
this and necessary mitigation put
in place.
Overall the site will have a
minimal visual impact given
its size. While visible, its impact
on sensitive receptors or long
distance views is low.

The planning application will be for Planning Permission
in Principle (PPP), which seeks to agree the principle
of the proposed development on the site in terms of
the land use mix, broad extent of developable areas,
access points etc. Detailed design – including the exact
location of buildings, heights of buildings, elevations,
materials etc – will be confirmed at a later stage during
the Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC)
stage. As such, the Masterplan shown is indicative, and
subject to change as the design advances.

our application.
Following this exhibition we will review your
comments and use these to shape our
proposed Masterplan. In the meantime, we
are undertaking a number of environmental
and technical surveys as part of an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the
development. These include assessments of:
• Landscape & Visual Impact;
