The Highland Council has launched a consultation to look at the alternatives being considered as part of the Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan.

Between April and July 2012, the Council carried out a consultation on the first stage of the plan, known as the Main Issues Report. The Main Issues Report provided details of sites that were considered to be suitable and unsuitable for future development.

Throughout the consultation, around 900 comments were submitted from individuals, groups and organisations and as a result, a number of sites that had not previously been considered were put forward, alongside proposed alternative land uses for other certain sites. 

The consultation includes suggestions relating to the following settlements; Alness, Beauly, Cawdor, Conon Bridge, Contin, Cromarty, Dingwall, Drumnadrochit, Evanton, Fortrose, Invergordon, Inverness, Muir of Ord, Munlochy, Nairn, North Kessock, Seaboard Villages, Strathpeffer, Tain and Tore. It also considers suggested changes to the Hinterland around Towns and Special Landscape Areas.

The consultation closes on 30 June.
