    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. 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 Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

Additionally, all designated assets under consideration in the assessment were reviewed against the information known about their contextual characteristic (see Technical Appendix 12.1) and against mapping information to identify any assets where views of the Proposed Development may significantly impact the settings of the assets due to an impact on views towards the asset from other points in the landscape. Potential effects upon the setting of Dail Langwell, broch (Asset 45) are considered to be potentially significant and the detailed setting assessment for this asset is contained in Section 12.7 of the EIA Report. A summary of the findings of the settings assessment, for all other assets considered, is presented in Table 12.3.1. A summary discussion for each of the assets subject to detailed assessment is provided within this Technical Appendix and has been informed by ZTV modelling.
