Community Action Plan Survey
Highland Council Development Newsletter
Development Plans Newsletter
We are pleased to announce the publication of our March 2024 Development Plans Newsletter, which gives an overview as to how land use planning documents are prepared by The Highland Council, and how and when you or your local community can get involved.
This newsletter provides updates on the current local development plans in the Highland area (Highland-wide, Inner Moray Firth, Caithness and Sutherland, and West Highlands and Islands), and gives the latest timings for the new, single Highland Local Development Plan, including the evidence gathering, monitoring, and consultation that will be carried out to inform the new Plan.
To view our latest newsletter, please visit: www.highland.gov.uk/developmentplansnewsletter
Highland Place Standard survey tool
Our March 2024 Development Plans Newsletter provides information on the launch of our Highland Place Standard survey tool, which can be used by any individual or group and is one of the ways to input to the new Highland Local Development Plan and other workstreams.
The Highland Place Standard is a key way of gathering people’s lived experience from across and around Highland and we would welcome its completion by Community Councils, and also any encouragement that you can give to people in your community to take part in the survey too.
The survey can be accessed through our March 2024 Newsletter or via the following link: www.highland.gov.uk/yourplacehighland, where you can also view the privacy notice that includes information on how anonymised information from the survey may be shared.
We will be in touch about further opportunities to be involved in the new Highland LDP during the coming year. We are writing to you separately with our March 2024 update on Local Place Planning.
Participation Statement feedback form
We want to make sure that our approach to consultation will work for the people and organisations who are living, working, and investing in the Highland region.
In our March 2024 Development Plans Newsletter, the Participation Statement includes updates to reflect the findings from the Participation Statement Survey that we ran in 2023.
We now have a feedback form that will remain open on an ongoing basis should anyone wish to give us feedback on our Participation Statement at any point going forward. The feedback form can be accessed through our March 2024 Newsletter or via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/FqidGWV67j, where you can also view the privacy notice.
