Higgins (23) G. A. Marshall (255) A. M. A. Bagott (380) J Robertson (650) Mr H. Lane (175) Provisions of the development plan to Settlement development area; housing which the issue relates: allocations Summary of representations: Mr P. Higgins, G. A .Marshall, A. M. A. Bagott, J Robertson Scale of the proposals would have an unacceptable impact on the established character of the town. Extra housing will have an effect on demand for already overstretched social resources, especially social functions. Present facilities are already inadequate. Developers should donate/contribute to provision of a new/refurbished village hall. Lack of employment opportunities for incomers who will occupy the new houses. A greater volume of traffic will be generated through the new housing proposed to be built, probably higher than average for most towns. Question capacity in the secondary and primary schools. Mr H. Lane Need a small but appropriate gymnasium in Dornoch. Modifications sought by those submitting representations: Mr P. Higgins, G. A. Marshall, A. M. A. Bagott, J Robertson Reduction of overall allocations level (assumed). Mr H Lane Provision of community recreational facility. Summary of responses by THC: Dornoch has an identified housing need, with a significant waiting list for affordable homes. The settlement has a high average house price that may be driven by purchases from outwith the Highland area, the East Sutherland and Edderton Ward has one of the highest levels of sales to outwith the area. The provision of a larger and more varied housing stock will assist in the ability of the local population to access the housing market. In relation to the provision of business and industrial opportunities these have been identified within the plan through an extension to the business park, in order to facilitate the growth of local 1 SUTHERLAND LOCAL PLAN employment opportunities. Both the Dornoch Primary and Academy have experienced falling school rolls in recent years, event with a significant growth in house construction this is likely to steady the existing school rolls. Proposals to upgrade the level of facilities available for the primary and secondary school are under consideration. The development of a sports barn at the school will offer facilities for the wider public. The local community association are pursuing the potential for the refurbishment of the existing or the delivery of a new community centre. The provision of adequate infrastructure is an issue that is the subject of consideration when allocating land. Further detail on improvements that require to be undertaken or contributed to by developers will be the subject of more detailed discussion when proposals are formed and submitted for consideration. These issues relate to all factors that are required to facilitate a development to proceed, ie adequacy of roads, pedestrian access, water and drainage provision, flood risk, service provision etc. The preparation of the plan involves discussion with other agencies to allow consideration of the impact on services and allow for the programming of adequate provision. Any further plan changes commended by THC: None. Reporter’s conclusions: 1. Although it has been claimed that the scale of development proposed in Dornoch would have an adverse impact on the character of the town, this is not a matter that has been addressed by THC. 2. It cannot be denied that the local plan proposes a large number of new houses for a town the size of Dornoch. Sites H1 - H4 and site MU1 have an estimated capacity of 444 housing units. Some of the sites have been granted planning permission and are already under development. Each of the sites has been the subject of representations and these have been assessed under Issues 3 – 7. In each case I have concluded that the principle of the development of the site is acceptable. Although site MU1 is a particularly large site with a capacity of 250 units along with other uses, I believe that the development could be accommodated within the urban framework. This development is likely to be undertaken throughout the plan period and beyond.

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

    Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan Report by Director of Development and Infrastructure

    Agenda The Highland Council 6. Item Sutherland County Committee Report SCC/ Caithness Committee No 19/16 30 August 2016 31 August 2016 Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan Report by Director of Development and Infrastructure Summary This report presents a summary of issues raised in comments received on the Proposed Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) and seeks approval for the Council’s response to these issues and next steps. In accordance with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation, the two Local Committees are asked to consider the report and decide on these matters. The recommended Council position is to defend the Proposed Plan, subject to only minor modifications, which would mean that the next stage would be submission to Ministers and progression to Examination. Other options would involve further consultation on a Modified Plan. The report explains the implications of each way forward. 1. Background 1.1 The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three area local development plans to be prepared by the Highland Council. Together with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and more detailed Supplementary Guidance, CaSPlan will form part of the Council’s Development Plan against which planning decisions will be made in the Caithness and Sutherland area. 1.2 The Proposed Plan consultation for CaSPlan ran from 22 January to 18 March 2016. Around 201 organisations or individuals responded, raising around 636 comments. This includes a few comments received on the associated Proposed Action Programme. All these comments have been published on the development plans consultation portal consult.highland.gov.uk.

Representations* received on Deposit Draft Local Plan - November 28 2008 to January 23 2009 Consultation *NB - Includes text of previous representation where appropriate. Representee Comment Whole Policy Text WS General Comment Scottish Water In relation to the Local Plan Map Booklet, we welcome the inclusion of the table prepared for each settlement, suggesting the level of capacity for both water and sewerage treatment. A detailed assessment of the proposed site allocations provided in the map booklet has been undertaken in terms of capacity and future capacity1 of Scottish Water’s infrastructure to accommodate the level of development detailed within the local plan. The capacity data section in the map booklet appears to be consistent with our assessment and the planned future development of our infrastructure. Scottish Natural Heritage Master Planning and Design Statements SNH recommends that relevant PANs such as PAN83 Masterplanning, PAN68 Design Statements are referred to and their requirements consistently applied in relation to housing allocations within1 the Local Plan. DEPOSIT DRAFT NOV 08 RESPONSE - Not done – but para 2.6 1st b/p advises applicants to check the Scottish Government website for current PANs – which are listed in topic order – and SNH has no further comments on this. Scottish Natural Heritage Renewable energy, and some other development related issues will, SNH understands, be taken forward soon in policy terms through the Highland-wide Local Development Plan in order that they can be considered at the Highland rather than at any Area level.
