    Development and Infrastructure Service Seirbheis an Leasachaidh agus a’ Bhun-structair Caithness and Sutherland Delivery Programme Prògram Lìbhrigidh Ghallaidh agus Chataibh November 2018 This constitutes the Action Programme for the Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) www.highland.gov.uk This Delivery Programme sets out the infrastructure and development required to support the implementation of the vision, spatial strategy, policies and proposals of the Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan). Its purpose is to provide information for identifying, monitoring and implementing the actions for delivering future growth in the area. It will be used to help identify which infrastructure projects will be subject to developer contributions requirements and as a tool for coordinating investment in development and infrastructure. We will continue to work with partners and relevant stakeholders to review and where appropriate amend the Delivery Programme as infrastructure is delivered, opportunities for new development are presented and as pressures change over time. Some actions from previous versions may no longer appear, for instance as projects are completed. Developer contributions towards the delivery of the infrastructure projects shown in this Delivery Programme may be required from sites located within and outwith relevant settlements. For secondary school and community facility projects, developer contributions may be sought on a secondary school catchment area basis. Therefore, please check the relevant Main Settlement(s) to identify developer contribution requirements. In due course we intend to produce a single Delivery Programme which covers all of the Highland area. So far we have prepared Delivery Programmes for the Caithness and Sutherland and the Inner Moray Firth areas.

  • Report by Education Scotland Addressing Educational Aspects of the Proposal by the Highland Council to Discontinue Education
    Report by Education Scotland addressing educational aspects of the proposal by The Highland Council to discontinue education provision at Kinbrace Primary School and divide the catchment area between Helmsdale Primary and Melvich Primary Schools. 1. Introduction 1.1. This report from Education Scotland has been prepared by HM Inspectors in accordance with the terms of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and the amendments contained in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The purpose of the report is to provide an independent and impartial consideration of The Highland Council’s proposal to discontinue education provision at Kinbrace Primary School and divide the catchment area between Helmsdale Primary and Melvich Primary Schools. Section 2 of the report sets out brief details of the consultation process. Section 3 of the report sets out HM Inspectors’ consideration of the educational aspects of the proposal, including significant views expressed by consultees. Section 4 summarises HM Inspectors’ overall view of the proposal. Upon receipt of this report, the Act requires the council to consider it and then prepare its final consultation report. The council’s final consultation report should include a copy of this report and must contain an explanation of how, in finalising the proposal, it has reviewed the initial proposal, including a summary of points raised during the consultation process and the council’s response to them. The council has to publish its final consultation report three weeks before it takes its final decision. Where a council is proposing to close a school, it needs to follow all legislative obligations set out in the 2010 Act, including notifying Ministers within six working days of making its final decision and explaining to consultees the opportunity they have to make representations to Ministers.
