Development Plan Scheme

You can view the Highland Development Plan Scheme by clicking on the link below:

The Highland Development Plan Scheme has 3 purposes:

  • to explain what future local development plans for Highland will contain;
  • when they are likely to be produced;
  • and how individuals, communities and organisations can be involved in making these plans.

The scheme will be updated annually, giving regular information on the progress and contents of local development plans in Highland.  Feedback is invited, particularly on the suggested methods for involving people in local development plans, and feedback forms can be found following the links below.

Keep us in the picture’ – Competition

We invited young people under the age of 25 to send us photographs of what they think of their community’s environment, and aspirations they have for communities in the future. 

Over 100 photographs were entered by young people across Highland. The competition was judged by Highland Youth Voice Xec and they chose the 8 winners out of many great entries.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who took part.
