In 2021, Highland Council made a commitment to develop Area Place Plans (APPs) mainly based on Area Committee boundaries. The Plans are being developed and facilitated in various ways across Highland, as each area is different.

Area Place Plans set out the vision, ambition and priorities for people and place in that particular area. This will support targeting resources, service delivery and provide a clear vision for attracting external investment. The APPs will help the Highland Council, partners and communities secure funding by evidencing the impact of every pound spent and the actions associated will provide clarity and manage expectation around how and where resources are prioritised. They will also provide a stronger framework for communities to prepare more local plans empowering them to drive and deliver change.

We appreciate there are a number of plans which inter-relate with the APPs, including Local Place Plans (LPPs), the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (LDP), the Highland Outcomes Improvement Plan (HOIP), the Highland Investment Plan (HIP) and the Community Partnership Plans. The information gathered from this Area Place Plan Participation site will be shared with colleagues working on those plans, and will minimise repeated consultations (this does not necessarily mean that there will be no other consultation from other Plans).

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    Lochaber Area Place Plan Engagement Survey

    To help develop the Area Place Plan for Lochaber we have already gleaned as much information as possible from existing plans, priorities documents and consultations, but would very much like to ensure that not only is what we have gathered still relevant to people within the Lochaber area and to open engagement as widely as possible - it may be that people have something different or new to say, or may have missed a previous consultation.

    The information gathered from this Area Place Plan Engagement survey will be shared with colleagues working on other Highland wide plans, and hopefully minimise repeated consultations (this does not necessarily mean that there will be no other consultation from other Plans, simply avoiding repeat questions where possible).  As such, this survey is quite lengthy. Please be aware that no questions are compulsory, that you can answer as much or as little as you please, and if any part of the survey is not relevant to you or not of interest to respond please feel free to skip past it.

    We recommend you register and log in to save your progress in the survey so you don't lose any of your responses.  If you do not you will need to complete the survey and submit it in one session.
