THOSE wishing to gain Highland Council endorsement for a significant building project in the region have been urged to respond to the local authority’s current call for development sites.
Every 10 years, each council in Scotland must prepare a local development plan. The document indicates where the local authority is likely to grant planning permission for different land uses and where it is unlikely to.
Chair of the economy and infrastructure committee at the Highland Council, councillor Ken Gowans, said, “Any landowner or developer wishing to gain in-principle support for a project in Highland that it may wish to take forward any time over the next 10 years should act now by submitting a bid in response to the council’s current ‘Call’ for development sites. All submitted bids will be considered for inclusion in the forthcoming Highland Local Development Plan.”
Assistant CEX – place Malcolm MacLeod added, “We have made direct contact with representatives of the development industry active in Highland and placed advertorials in the local press but want to make sure that no-one misses out on this once in 10 years opportunity.”
Further details about the Call and the Plan are available via the council’s website. The deadline for site submissions is 12 noon on Friday 2 May 2025.
