Find out more about your rights

We are legally required to provide a register of Local Place Plans and accompanying information, and a map of Local Place Plan areas. The Highland Council directory and map of registered Local Place Plans can be found online at: www.highland.gov.uk/localplaceplanregister.

If you cannot access our website on your own device, the Local Place Plan register can be viewed on computers at various libraries, and Service and Access Points throughout Highland.

If you provide us with an indication of the location of your proposed Local Place Plan area, we will display it as an indicator dot on our map register, together with your organisation’s name, web address (if it has one) and email address (if it has one).

When your Local Place Plan area is confirmed, we will show the boundary of your Local Place Plan area as a solid line on our map register, together your organisation’s name, web address (if it has one) and email address (if it has one). When your Local Place Plan and supporting documents have been validated, we will add these to our Local Place Plan directory.

We will display only organisation-related (generic) email and postal addresses on our Local Place Plan directory and map register. We will not display any phone numbers on our Local Place Plan directory and map register.

Unless you tell us otherwise, we will continue to hold your information for as long as necessary to perform our Local Place Plan functions.

Your information is not subject to automated decision making or profiling.
