    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.

  • Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary
    Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary Workshop Purpose The rationale behindLocalisation Workshops is to connect the peo- ple who interact with our visitors to the information than can enhance their time here and create a better sense of Thurso. Ever heard someone say Thurso under-sells itself? Discover Thurso workshops aim to empower people to not only sell the town, but to champion Thurso’s tourism offering. Why Localisation No other organisation across Scotland is responsible for or even qualified to specifically promote Thurso; it’s something we have to do ourselves. Many of our visitors may just be passing through on the NC500, or staying 1-night before heading to Orkney, but they’re a captive audience—they’re looking for things like golden sand beaches, 2,000 year old monuments, castles, whisky, Scottish food, the Northern Lights, traditional music and so on. Things we can offer readily. If we localise our knowledge and our conversations with tourists—that is, to focus them on Thurso— we’re spreading a positive message about the town to people who, even if they don’t come back to Scotland one day, will definitely be telling friends about wee places that caught their eye on the way round. What you can do… 1. Engage Tourists—Dornoch scores incredibly well when it asks its visitors whether they’d consider returning to the town, in large part to their hospitality. They asked their visitors what the most positive aspect to their stay in Dornoch was—the answer? Engaging with friendly locals. 2. Know the town, make recommendations—A Thurso bartender recently made a couple’s day when she was able to recommend Wolfburn and Dunnet Bay Distillery tours as activities for a rainy day.
