WestPlan Delivery Programme Prògram Lìbhrigidh a’ Phlana Shiar

March 2021 This constitutes the Action Programme for the West and Islands Local Development Plan (WestPlan)

www.highland.gov.uk This Delivery Programme sets out the infrastructure and development required to support the implementation of the West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan (WestPlan). As a result it constitutes the Action Programme which is a statutory requirement of the local development plan making process.

The purpose of the Delivery Programme 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 revise and amend it as infrastructure is delivered, opportunities for new development are presented and as pressures change over time.

Developer contributions towards the delivery of the infrastructure projects shown in this Delivery Programme may be required from sites located within and outwith these settlements. For secondary school and community facility projects, developer contributions will typically be sought on a secondary school catchment area basis. Therefore, please check the relevant Main Settlement(s) to identify developer contribution requirements.

The Delivery Programme is split into the following sections: Page 1. Strategic Infrastructure Improvements - sets out the major investments 3 within the WestPlan area wh0ich will support regional and national growth; 2. Economic Development Areas (EDAs) - sets out the steps for enabling 6 major employment generating development within the EDA sites identified in WestPlan. 3. Fort William 2040 - sets out actions for maximising benefit from 7 investment and development in Fort William and (see FW2040 webpage for more information). 4. Main Settlements – outlines the actions for delivering growth in each of 8 the Main Settlements included within WestPlan and identifies which infrastructure projects will be subject to developer contributions requirements. 5. Other Areas - sets out the actions for delivering growth in areas outwith 21 the Main Settlements.

Please contact the Development Plans team should you have any questions regarding the content of the Delivery Programme by emailing [email protected] or on 01349 886608. 1. Strategic Infrastructure Improvements
