This allows The Highland Council to move towards intention to adopt stage. It has been clear throughout the production of the Highland-wide Local Development Plan that The Highland-wide Local Development Plan will replace the Highland Structure Plan (except within the Cairngorms National Park) and update/supersede the “general policies” of the existing adopted Local Plans. In order to retain other elements of the existing adopted Local Plans (i.e. site allocations and settlement development areas not covered by the Highland-wide Local Development Plan and site specific policies) an Order will be laid before Scottish Parliament to enable these elements to remain in force to the extent so specified as required by Schedule 1 of The Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 As Amended. For this Order to be passed it has to be clear that the retained elements of the existing adopted local plans have met the requirements of European Community Law with respect to Habitats Regulation Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment. The result of this exercise informs the content of the order. The elements of the adopted Local Plans which will remain in force are included in the Retention Schedule of this document.
