Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of environmental protection or improvement'

We were set up to promote and preserve the Ochil Hill range and we do this by monitoring planning and other developments that are being proposed for within the Ochils. We monitor planning applications submitted to the relevant local authorites (Perth & Kinross, Stirling and Clackmannanshire) and other bodies such as the ECU and Scottish Forestry. We also liaise with Community Councils as appropriate. We submit representations to relevant bodies when we consider it necessary.

Objectives: To promote and conserve the landscape, natural beauty and wildlife of the Ochils, and to protect the historical and social character of the surrounding communities. To encourage consistent implementation of goo planning policies appropriate to the other objects of the Association. To support responsible and well behaved public access to the Ochils consistent with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. To promote appropriate study of and research into relevent fields of interest pertaining to the Ochils and its local communities, and to promote dissemination of the results of such study and research.
