Please see below for brief details of the latest posts on the Highland Council planning blog.
The main thing to note is the Change of dates
IMPORTANT - CHANGE OF DATES
There has been a change to the start date of the Highland wide Local Development Main Issues Report. The consultation on the Main Issues Report officially begins on the 31st August 2009. This is later than the previous post on this blog (see below). It is also now intended to run the consultation for a longer period of 10 weeks from that date.
4th August - Architecture and Design Scotland
Malcolm met with Eric Dawson and Diarmid Lawlor of Architecture and Design Scotland to review progress with the preparation of an updated City Vision
30th July - Meetings with Scotish Government
Malcolm met with David Liddell and Stephen Hall from the Scottish Government's Duilt Environment Directorate on 30th July to discuss progress with the Main Issues Report. They had previously been sent a draft of the document to comment on, and the meeting dealt with this as well as wider issues on working with other agencies. The meeting was positive, although a number of changes were recommended. These have now been incorporated where deemed necessary into the Committee Draft version of the document which will be considered by PED Committee next week (12th August)
I thought it was interesting to see the consultation basically travels around Scotland.
ReplyDeleteGot to admit, surprised by that - do people in Wick really give a monkeys about what happens in the A96 corridor?
Perhaps this means we'll be consulted on changes happening to Edinburgh next?

I believe it is the Council's position that the proposals for the A96 corridor will benefit the whole of the Highlands. APT's position is that it will therefore be beneficial for all Highland residents to take an interest in this HwLDP plan since significant resources will need to be spent on infrastrucuture in the A96 corridor - water, sewage treatment, roads, electical upgrades, the provision of a rail halt at the airport etc.
