  • 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.

  • Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019
    Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Development Plan preliminary research Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000 tourists visit Wester Ross each year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy and tourism accounts for 35% of employment[1]. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate[2]) over the past few years may not be sustainable. Although a different perspective is that this has followed a deep recession in the tourism industry and visitor numbers have yet to return to the high levels enjoyed during the 1990s, the current situation is exacerbated by Local Authority and Public Agency budget cuts which have resulted in plans to close public toilets and a deterioration in road quality. In addition, the type of visitor has changed, Wester Ross is welcoming large amounts of campervans which require waste disposal facilities which are not yet in place. Local people are reporting over-flowing carparks and bins, increasing litter pollution and irresponsible behaviour. It is not unusual for local residents to cite increased litter as a negative aspect of tourism[3] and this together with other perceived negative impacts can become challenging to tourism development as the host community begin to view visitors less than favourably. Therefore, the World Tourism Organisation advises regions to adopt a model for tourism management which considers the social as well as economical and environmental impacts of tourism[4]. Mass tourism is not going away[5]. But currently, there is no hard-empirical evidence on visitor numbers, expectations and behaviour or condition of assets in Wester Ross which would allow communities, businesses, local authorities and public agencies to plan proactively.

  • Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 18 Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This very large area, extending 1065 km2 across Lochalsh and Lochaber, is the fourth most extensive WLA and only narrowly separated from the second largest, Central Highlands (WLA 24). It runs from Glen Shiel in the north and includes a large proportion of the Knoydart peninsula and the hills between Lochs Quoich, Arkaig and Eil and Eilt, and around the eastern part of Loch Morar. Major routes flank its far northern and southern edges, the latter to nearby Fort William, but it is otherwise distant from large population centres. It is one of only three mainland WLAs to be defined in part by the coast, on its western edge. The area contains in the north and west high, angular and rocky mountains with sweeping slopes towering over a series of steep sided glens and lochs, which extend into a more jumbled mass of rugged mountains within the central interior, with linear ranges of simpler massive hills in the east. These are formed of hard metamorphic rock that was carved during glaciation, creating features such as pyramidal peaks, corries, U-shaped glens, moraine and the remarkable fjords of Lochs Hourn and Nevis. Later erosion is also evident with the presence of burns, gorges, waterfalls and alluvial deposits. The distinctive landform features are highlighted against the open space and horizontal emphasis of adjacent sea and lochs. The WLA is largely uninhabited, apart from a few isolated crofts and estate settlements around the coast and loch shores.
