Bellscroft Reservoir

Situated 1KM behind Boghead is Bellscroft Reservoir which has been operated illegally by Doonin Plant since 2001 without the benefit of planning permission. The primary objective of this operation was the working and recycling of remnant materials on site, the excavation of mineral deposits from the reservoir floor, the importation and recycling of inert waste materials, and the exportation of worked materials.

After this had been done the site is said to be infilled with inert material to raise existing levels to create a final landform which will tie in with the adjacent land. The proposed end use of the site was planned as being a greyhound training facility, comprising an exercise and training area, a kenneling and parking area, and some woodland planting around the perimeter of the site. Recently, however, planning permission has been refused, so the end land use is currently unknown.

Many problems have occurred with this site, however, as local Boghead residents have complained about several factors relating to Doonins illegal on-site operations and the lorries entering and leaving the site. The current access route from the site is Bellscroft Road, which leads onto the A726. As some lorries are unsheeted, extracted material from these lorries is known to fly out the lorries and lie on the road, becoming dangerous elements on the roads. Another problem is these lorries commuting the roads at "antisocial" hours. As these lorries are HGV's, it is understandable the noise which can be generated, especially to the awareness of those residents living on the beforementioned A726.
