Highland Wide Local Development Plan | Proposed Plan | Examination | Other Assessments and Information
The purpose of a Main Issues Report is to highlight the choices that can be taken in planning for the development of the Highland area over the next twenty years. It is seeking the views of the community, the development industry and other interested parties as to the options for how development can be delivered in a way which fits with an overall vision and strategy. In doing so, the main issues report seeks to address the issues where the Council is seeking help in finding the best way forward.
The Highland Council produced and published a Main Issues Report for the Highland wide Local Development Plan in August 2009. We sought comments from members of the public and private sectors and the community at large on the main strategic issues and potential policy options for the Highland wide Local Development Plan.
The consultation lasted for 13 week and closed at the end of November 2009.
The main issues report can be downloaded below.
Over the consultation period you could make comment on the Council’s Coastal Development Strategy, Local Transport Strategy and Local Housing Strategy.
Members of the Development Plans team attended Ward Forums and hosted other events to highlight some of the main issues set out in the document. We held special events in Inverness, Nairn and were giving information and advice at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2009.
