    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.

  • Consultation Questions
    Mike Lunan Consultation Questions My reponses should be read alongside my more detailed written Response, enclosed with this Form. Procuring rail passenger services What are the merits of offering the ScotRail franchise as a dual focus franchise and what services should be covered by the economic rail element, and what by the social rail element? Q1 comments: In principle there is no reason why the franchise should not be split, but there may be very large operational reasons for keeping it in one piece. Whether one operator could manage two separate operating systems (ie maintaining single Head Office costs, single rolling stock etc.) with different payment and incentive regimes is not easy to see. I imagine such complexity would be priced into the bidding, with no real benefit to taxpayers. Occam’s useful observation comes to mind: keep it simple. What should be the length of the contract for future franchises, and what factors lead you to this view? Q2 comments: Long, ideally 20 years (see 9 above). This is roughly half the lifetime of rolling stock and re-franchising at that point would seem sensible. Choose an operator carefully then sit back and let him get on with it. What risk support mechanism should be reflected within the franchise? Q3 comments: I have no comment to offer. What, if any, profit share mechanism should apply within the franchise? Q4 comments: I have no comment to offer. Under what terms should third parties be involved in the operation of passenger rail services? Q5 comments: I have no comment to offer.

Welcome/Apologies (as above). Chair Pete Campbell opened the meeting at 7.30pm, thanking Sgt Allan for attending and for his recent work regarding traffic/parking issues. Item 2. Police report/Police Scotland and Highland Council update re traffic/parking issues. Six incidents were noted in the monthly report, three were weather related, one road traffic accident, and two alarm calls which were also weather related. Eight incidents of speeding were recorded. PA indicated that speeding issues are a main focus for the Road Policing Department with numbers of reported cases on the increase. PA began his update with a further apology to the CC for the lack of response to its contacts and queries last year regarding the traffic/parking issues in Bonar Bridge and Spinningdale. Police Scotland has been experiencing major IT problems for some time, hopefully resolving. The issues raised did eventually come to the attention of the Area Commander, also Inspector Wilson and PA. He has worked on gathering information since then and has been in contact with THC through the Head of Roads Department, Graham MacKenzie and Joanna Sutherland.
