We have completed the examination, and now submit our report, enclosing four bound copies. In our examination we considered each of the 119 issues arising from unresolved representations which were identified by the council. In each case we have taken account of the summaries of the representations and the responses, as prepared by the council. This forms the starting point for our report on each issue, but we have set out our own conclusions on each issue and where relevant, our recommendations for any modifications which should be made to the plan. We have taken into account the documents lodged by the council when it submitted the plan for examination. These included each of the original representations which it had received. Our examination also included unaccompanied inspections of the sites concerned, although in one case this was carried out on an accompanied basis. For some issues, we requested additional information from the council and/or other parties. We also held a number of hearings to explore certain issues in greater detail. Eight were held in relation to Fort William. These dealt with the scale of the land to be made available there both for housing and for business and industry; as well as some of the major sites which the council proposed to allocate for development. In addition, further hearings were held to discuss the council’s proposals to identify ‘commerce centres’ in Broadford, Kyle of Lochalsh and Portree. These hearings informed our conclusions and recommendations on these issues. Subject to the limited exceptions as set out in section 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and in the Town and Country Planning (Grounds for Declining to Follow Recommendations) (Scotland) Regulations 2009, the council is now required to make the modifications to the proposed local plan as set out in our recommendations. The council should also make any consequential modifications to the text or maps which arise from these modifications, and may also make any necessary non-material corrections to the plan. Separately, the council will require to make any necessary adjustments to the final environmental report and to the report on the appropriate assessment of the plan. A letter will be issued to all those who submitted representations to inform them that the examination has been completed and that the report has been submitted to the council. It will advise them that the report is now available to view at our web site at:- “http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Built-Environment/planning/decisionsappeals/ Appeals/PlanInquiries” and at the council’s offices at Lochaber House, High Street, Fort William and Tigh-na-Sgire, Park Lane, Portree and the Headquarters at Glenurquhart Road, Inverness; and that it will also be posted on the council’s web site at:- "http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourenvironment/planning/developmentplans/localplans/WHILP Examination.htm" The documents relating to the examination should be retained on the council’s web-site for a period of six weeks following the adoption of the plan by the council.

MacDonald (175), Kearney Donald Partnership on behalf of Mr R. MacLean (406) Provision of the Development Plan to Housing Allocation which the issue relates: Council’s summary of the representation(s): D. & A. MacDonald: Object to development because the Council owns a better site to the rear of houses 17-22 North Corran, which has all the services. It seems ludicrous to use up green space, when the Council have previously earmarked this area for housing. Kearney Donald Partnership: Disputes that the land to the south should be safeguarded from development for a future crossing over the Corran Narrows because this will sterilise it for a considerable time. Modifications sought by those submitting representations: D. & A. MacDonald: Deletion of site. Kearney Donald Partnership: Seek increase in the capacity from 8 to 16 all of which could be affordable with an extension to the south.

    1 the HIGHLAND COUNCIL the Proposal Is to Establish a Catchment Area for Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL The proposal is to establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium catchment area for Lochaber High School EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A PROPOSAL PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 INTRODUCTION The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. The new Gàidhlig Medium (GM) catchment will overlay the current catchments of Banavie Primary School, Caol Primary School, Inverlochy Primary School, Lundavra Primary School, Roy Bridge Primary School, Spean Bridge Primary School, and St. Bride’s Primary School • To formalise the current arrangements relating to Gàidhlig Medium Education (GME) in related secondary schools, under which the catchment area for Lochaber High School will apply to both Gàidhlig Medium and English Medium education, and under which pupils from the St. Bride’s PS catchment (part of the Kinlochleven Associated School Group) have the right to attend Lochaber High School to access GME, provided they have previously attended Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. • Existing primary school catchments for the provision of English Medium education will be unaffected. • The proposed changes, if approved, will be implemented at the conclusion of the statutory consultation process. If implemented as drafted, the proposed catchment for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar will include all of the primary school catchments within the Lochaber ASG, except for that of Invergarry Primary School. The distances and travel times to Fort William from locations within the Invergarry catchment make it unlikely that GM provision would be attractive to parents of primary school age children, and dedicated transport from the Invergarry catchment could result in excessive cost being incurred.

    Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011

    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.
