Delivery Programmes
Plan Delivery
We intend to deliver our development plans in the following ways.
The Delivery Programmes set out the timescales and actions for the delivery of development and infrastructure for each of our local development plans. Their purpose is to provide information for identifying, monitoring and implementing the actions for delivering future growth in Highland. They also help to coordinate public services and other key stakeholders in improving and investing in our future communities.
As outlined in our March 2024 Development Plan Scheme, the previous three Delivery Programmes have now been consolidated into a single document. This was approved by the Economy and Infrastructure Committee on 22 August and is now available for public consultation until Friday 11 October. We are inviting people to have their say over the essential infrastructure and services that are needed to support new development.
The Delivery Programme is aligned with the latest Housing Land Audit, providing information on forecasted phasing of new housing, and the School Roll Forecasts, which outline the anticipated changes to pupil rolls in primary and secondary schools in Highland.
We are also considering the use of Masterplan Consent Areas within Highland. The Masterplan Consent Areas Statement explains that consideration.
