Public consultation on Inverness City Centre Development Brief

The public is being asked for their views on how they want to see the centre of Inverness to develop. The Highland Council is asking for views on a new Inverness City Centre Development Brief. The purpose of the brief is to highlight and promote key development and environmental enhancement opportunities within the city centre. This will then provide a planning framework to guide future development. 

The public consultation process will run until 25th May 2012. 

Public events are also being planned for early May 2012, and will be widely advertised closer to the date. 

Councillor Ian Ross, Chairman of the Council’s Planning, Environment and Development Committee, said:  “I want to encourage everyone to contribute to the development brief.  The enhancement of Inverness city centre is at the heart of the strategy and will bring benefits to the Highlands as a whole.”

The Development Brief is available to view at:

Comment Forms are available to download on The Highland Council website and at both the Service Point and the Library.  

All comments should be made by the 25th May 2012 and submitted:
