The Highland Council must present a Development Plan Scheme each year to set out the Council’s programme for preparing and reviewing its Local Development Plans. To help keep the community and other stakeholders up-to-date with our progress and provide certainty as to when each stage of the development planning process is being reached, the Highland Council also provide a half year update.
