APTSec has been thinking about what she would like on her Christmas 'planning' list and for those who feel so inclined what I need most is help and support.
Could you just keep an eye out in the press (notices for any major planning applications in Highland especially) and on the Council and Government web sites for any planning related info and most particularly keep in touch with the HwLDP blog which can be found here
Given that in the last post on the HwLDP blog the DP Team states:
"The Development Plans Team are currently going over all of the responses to the main issues report. When we are doing this we are summarising and pulling out key points made, which topics have been responded to and how we will deal with each response.
In some cases we will simply be addressing the points when we bring forward the proposed plan, in other cases we may need further information from the respondent to be able to fully address their response or have a meeting with the respondent to discuss through their response. We will be holding these meetings early 2010 and we will be posting a brief summary of these meetings online..."
Then we all need to keep as up to speed as we can.
The sequential nature of the decision making process in the planning system and Highland Council's desire to use supplementary guidance as a means to further the progress of plans requires that we should not take our eyes off the ball for even one moment. A single pair of eyes can get quite tired, but lots of eyes reading and evaluating and discussing and scrutinising and sharing views on the implications of what is read can only be a good thing for all Highland Communities.
Thank you and please do feel free to keep in touch with me.
