Comments must be submitted using our online Consultation Portal(1). In order to comment on the Plan first you have to register. Once registered, you can read the Plan online and make comments by clicking on the "Add Comments" tabs displayed throughout the document. Comments by letter or email will not be accepted unless agreed in advance with the Development Plans Team. If you cannot access the online version please contact the Development Plans Team via [email protected] or 01349 886608 and we will advise on an alternative method for you to read the Plan and submit your comments. All comments must be made within the 8 week consultation period of 5th May to 12 noon on 30th June 2017 inclusive. Please be specific about which parts of the Plan you wish to object to, support or comment on and how you want the Plan changed. Further information is available via the Council's website(2). What is the Proposed Plan? The West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan (abbreviated to WestPlan) is the third of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form "the development plan" that guides future development in the Highlands. WestPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the West Highland and Islands area over the next 20 years. In preparing this Plan, The Highland Council have held various consultations firstly with a "Call for Sites" followed by a Main Issues Report and an Additional Sites Consultation. The comments submitted during these stages have helped us prepare this Plan and are available to view via the Council's website. This Proposed Plan has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered. 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 West Highland and Islands area. 1 http://consult.highland.gov.uk 2 http://highland.gov.uk/whildp Proposed WestPlan The Highland Council 1 How to Comment and Find Out More | Ciamar beachd a thoirt seachad agus Faigh a-mach Tuilleadh What is its Status? This Plan can be used as a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. Alongside, the main documents for making planning decisions will be the HwLDP, Supplementary Guidance and the retained parts of the local plans relevant to the area that have been continued in force: Wester Ross Local Plan (adopted 2006, continued in force 2012). Ross and Cromarty Local Plan (part - Achnasheen and its surrounding area) (adopted 2007, continued in force 2012). West Highland and Islands Local Plan (adopted 2010, continued in force 2012). Any allocation and/or text in the HwLDP that relates to sites within the WestPlan area will be updated by its content. WestPlan when adopted will replace the local plans listed above. How to Use the Plan The main parts of the Plan are the Vision, the Strategy, policies that apply generally across the Plan area, and more detailed proposals and priorities for the larger settlements. The Plan is made up of maps and text. If you are interested in finding out what the Plan means for you then you need to read both. To get the complete picture, you need to read the relevant parts of this Plan together with the HwLDP and associated Supplementary Guidance. Conformity with a single policy or proposal in the Plan does not indicate conformity with the development plan as a whole. Appendix 2 contains a list of abbreviations, acronyms and terms used in this Plan and in the related background documents and an explanation of their origin and/or meaning. WestPlan takes account of a wide range of other factors which can also influence the outcome of planning decisions, including: National planning legislation, policy and guidance; The HwLDP, Supplementary Guidance and non-statutory planning guidance; and Other plans, programmes and strategies of The Highland Council and other public agencies. Next Steps The Council will consider everyone's comments on the Proposed Plan and decide whether any changes should be made. Any comments and changes the Council decides not to accept are known as "unresolved issues". These will be passed along with a copy of the the Council's Plan to Scottish Ministers, who will then appoint an independent person known as a Reporter to carry out an Examination of these unresolved issues. The Reporter will recommend changes that the Council has to make to the final version of the Plan. We will adopt this as the West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan. 2 The Highland Council Proposed WestPlan Foreword | Facal-toisich The publication of the West Highland and Islands Proposed Local Development Plan sets out the Council's settled view on how the Plan area should develop over the next10 years and beyond. This Plan seeks to deliver key outcomes for safeguarding and enhancing communities, employment, connectivity and transport, plus environment and heritage. It has been agreed with community planning partners and other stakeholders as a plan for delivering development and investing in infrastructure to support future communities. This Plan was prepared and refined by listening to the comments made to us during its preparation, including the Main Issues Report consultation held during 2016. On behalf of the Council we thank all those who have shown interest in the Plan so far. We would encourage everyone with an interest to visit our website consult.highland.gov.uk and tell us what you think.

  • Loch Arkaig Land Management Plan Summary
    Loch Arkaig Land Management Plan Summary Loch Arkaig Forest flanks the Northern and Southern shores of Loch Arkaig near the hamlets of Clunes and Achnacarry, 15km North of Fort William. The Northern forest blocks are accessed by a minor dead end public road. The Southern blocks are accessed by boat. This area is noted for the fishing, but more so for its link with the training of commandos for World War II missions. The Allt Mhuic area of the forest is well known for its invertebrates such as the Chequered Skipper butterfly. Loch Arkaig LMP was approved on 19/10/2010 and runs for 10 years. What’s important in the new plan: Gradual restoration of native woodland through the continuation of a phased clearfell system Maximisation of available commercial restocking area outwith the PAWS through keeping the upper margin at the altitude it is at present and designing restock coupes to sit comfortably within the landscape Increase butterfly habitat through a network of open space and expansion of native woodland. Enter into discussions with Achnacarry Estate with the aim of creating a strategic timber transport network which is mutually beneficial to the FC and the Estate, with the aim of facilitating the harvesting of timber and native woodland restoration from the Glen Mallie and South Arkaig blocks. The primary objectives for the plan area are: Production of 153,274m3 of timber Restoration of 379 ha of native woodland following the felling of non- native conifer species on PAWS areas To develop access to the commercial crops to enable harvesting operations on the South side of Loch Arkaig To restock 161 ha of commercial productive woodland.

Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks approval for the finalised version of the Uig Development Brief along with the suggested Council responses to comments made during the public consultation. The Brief sets out an agreed planning framework which will guide the physical development and transformation of the area over the next 20 years.

Subject to Committee approval, officers will take steps to formally adopt the brief as statutory Supplementary Guidance to the Council’s Development Plan. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to: i. consider the summary of comments received on the Brief and agree the Council responses as set out in Appendix 1; and ii. agree to adopt the Uig Development Brief at Appendix 2 as part of the Development Plan, subject to any non-material amendments or formatting changes, and clearance by Scottish Ministers. 3. Purpose of Project and Context 3.1 The Uig Development Brief covers an area around the commercial core of Uig, which lies immediately to the west of the Harbour. The Council’s existing Development Plan seeks to consolidate Uig’s role as the principal settlement on the western flank of the Trotternish peninsula and as a ferry terminal which generates significant economic activity for the local area.

  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.
