AGENDA ITEM 1

The reporters wish to have parties’ views on the relationship between the existing development plan and the proposed Highland-wide Local Development Plan, in
particular:

(a) The extent to which the plan is clear in its purpose of providing a strategic
overview as a successor to the Highland Structure Plan, and in the
structure of the plan itself.

(b) Whether the plan has the right balance of site specific proposals relative to
the forthcoming area local development plans.

AGENDA ITEM 2

Leading from item 1, this will examine the overall spatial strategy in broad terms,
focussing on the specific area of the A96 corridor. The reporters will wish to examine
the benefit of concentrating on the A96 corridor in some detail, in contrast to other
areas that are being left to the forthcoming area local development plans. Some
representations have queried the relationship between the proposed plan and the
forthcoming area local development plans in terms of site allocations and the
reporters will wish to consider this issue.

AGENDA ITEM 3

Representations have been critical of the plan’s growth projections, and resulting
housing allocations, both in terms of them being too optimistic, especially in the
current financial climate, but also in not providing adequate deliverable building land.
Taking into account guidance in Scottish Planning Policy, the reporters will wish to
look at the figures in relation to the HNDA and the GROS projections. They will wish
to examine the translation of the agreed figures into the specific housing allocations
as reflected in table 1, and the extent to which this has been followed up in relation to
the A96 corridor. They will consider individual proposals in so far as they relate to
the representations made by those participating in the hearing under issues 85 and
86.
