HWLDP Reporter's October Report

From 'Development Planning in Highland' blog

Reporter's October Report

"The reporters have been taking stock of the evidence heard during the hearing discussions last month, and looking at the subsequent submissions on the matters raised. Some have also taken leave. As the examination is now largely in its reporting stage, that is, writing up the individual responses to the schedule 4 documents, consideration is being given to any final information requests that might be needed from the council, and whether any site inspections are outstanding.

Proof reading is taking place for schedules already completed, and these are submitted to administrators compiling the final report. Once the schedules are completed there must be a comprehensive checking to ensure there are no internal contradictions that could invalidate any of the conclusions. Each reporter works independently on his allocated issues, but general discussions take place on overall policies and the approach to the plan.

The reporters still hope to make their end of November deadline, after which the final checking will be completed ready for submission to the council".
