Highland Area Local Plan
What is the Highland Area Local Plan
?
It is part of the Development Plan which comprises the Structure Plan and the
Local Plans.
It is the land-use plan covering the area which extends from
Murthly in the south to the Drumochter Pass in the north and from
Rannoch Moor in the west to the Forest of Atholl and Clunie in the
east. It contains detailed guidance on where we will encourage
development and where it is unlikely to be allowed. It guides
day-to-day planning decisions and influences the determination of
planning applications.
Where can I get a copy of the Plan?
You can view or download the Local Plan from
this page.
Alternatively if you want a printed copy
of the Plan you should send a cheque to us for £15 at
the address at the bottom of this page.
Will it be reviewed?
We will not be reviewing the Plan; instead
it will be replaced by a Local Development Plan, which will cover the
entire Council area.
What settlements are in the Plan area?
The main settlements are Aberfeldy, Birnam, Dunkeld and
Pitlochry. A number of other villages and small settlements
are included stretching from Murthly in the south east to Calvine
in the north and as far west as Rannoch Station. You can view
a map showing the extents of the Plan
[pdf,223kb] from this page.
What are the key aims of the Plan?
- To encourage development in the existing settlements to make
best use of transport links
- To identify small scale development opportunities in most of
the settlements and also to allow small scale housing in the
smaller rural locations
- To protect and enhance the landscape and natural and built
heritage of the area
Has the Plan been altered?
We decided that Camserney is not suitable for
the level of expansion shown in the adopted Local Plan.
Consequently, the western boundary of
Camserney was altered to be at the Camserney Burn.
The following alterations to the Highland
Area Local Plan 2000 have been made:
- Inset Map 26 Camserney (page 89) the
settlement boundary be redrawn so that the western boundary follows
the Camserney Burn (as shown on the
Camserney map [PDF: 250Kb])
- The area between the Camserney Burn and the
Camserney Farm access (including the buildings around Camserney
Farm and Nether Camserney) become part of the Landward Area where
policies 45 & 57 of the Highland Area Local Plan
apply.
You can get a copy of the alteration in the
download section on this page.
