Introduction 1.1 Norbord Limited (the Applicant) manufactures orientated strand board (OSB) at its facility at realignment of an existing access. Planning permission, subject to conditions, was granted on Morayhill, approximately 6 km northeast of Inverness (Grid Reference: 275516, 84974). The the 23rd June 2014. Applicant is applying for planning permission (the Application) from the Highland Council (THC) 1.7 The Proposed Development would be constructed on the foundations and infrastructure to install a new OSB production line, which will be accommodated in new buildings to be located established through the implementation of the enabling works application; any additional on land immediately east of the existing facility, and in converted buildings on its existing infrastructure is contemplated within the scope of the Application and is considered, as property (the Proposed Development). The planning application site (the Site) comprises both appropriate, in this Environmental Statement. the land to the east of the facility and the current property, and extends to some 22.5 hectares. (Figure 1.1 Site Location).
