Well, my word, is it really more than 3 months since I have posted anything? I must admit signing in today I had almost forgotten what to do!
It seems a little too late for 'Happy New Year', but, there, I have said it anyway.

There is circulated Report No. Ped-15-14 (464kb pdf) dated 24 January 2014 by the Director of Planning and Development outlining the content of the Development Plan Scheme (DPS), attached as Appendix 1 to the report, which provides an up to date position on the Council’s timescales for preparing its Development Plan documents. This includes the steps toward adoption of the Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan and the initial stages of the Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan).
