to Matt, me
Tina, this seems like a massive piece of work that I know very
little about. I have an extensive workstream with competing
priorities across the county. I am supportive of the idea (from
what I have gathered thus far) but have not committed to
undertaking any work on the project.
I will support if/when I can but cannot be relied upon to take
on actions, due to the reason given previously in the email.
Other HC Officers are aware of the project and have a better
understanding.
All that said I will try and familiarise myself in the coming
weeks and perhaps be able to assist in due course

Hi both
Can you deal with this please .. maybe the Dunnet and Canisbay
Community Council, or Durness, who are still not responding.
I will put it on the forum.
Kind regards.

To: Tina Irving <tinadirving@gmail.com>
Dear Tina
Thank you for your email and my apologies for our delay in
replying to you.
I can confirm that we do not have a Local Place Plan either
registered or going through the validation process that involves
the North Highland Way.
Should you wish to start preparing a Local Place Plan for the
North Highland Way, there are legal requirements set by Scottish
Government, which need to be met to ensure that a Local Place
Plan is valid and permitted to be registered by our team at The
Highland Council.
One of the key legal requirements is that a Local Place Plan
must be prepared by a “community-controlled body”, as defined in
section 19 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. You
can use our Local Place Plan information sheet to help you
decide if the North Highland Way steering group or any of the
community groups you mentioned in your email could meet the
requirements to be classed as a community-controlled body. If it
doesn’t appear possible for any of the groups you mentioned to
meet the requirements of a community-controlled body, you may
wish to consider working with an existing Community Body, e.g.
your local Community Council.
You can find out about the legal requirements, which must be
taken into account when preparing Local Place Plans, in the
Scottish Government’s guide for communities: Planning circular
1/2022: Local Place Plans) and on The Highland Council Local
Place Plans webpage.
However, please bear in mind that alternatively, you can promote
ideas for land use without it being part of a Local Place Plan
process. One of the groups you mentioned could still promote
ideas on the North Highland Way through submissions to The
Highland Council at one of the key points for ideas to be put
forward in the preparation of the new Highland Local Development
Plan (the timing of these key points will be widely advertised
nearer to the time). Additionally, if a Local Place Plan were
being prepared by one of the communities along the route of the
North Highland Way, you could seek to influence that plan and
have it reflect and promote the North Highland Way.
I hope you find this reply helpful.
Kind regards

Dear Sirs,
The North Highland Way is a multi use route which stretches from
John o Groats to Durness and 10 miles inland. The Highland
Council (Access Officer) has the specification for the project
which was agreed in 2014.
I am not sure if Local Place Plans are being developed, but as
the NHW is not a community project in itself, but made up of a
number of community groups, with a steering committee
(hopefully, after 14th June 2023 at The Climate Fringe Festival
- see programme at www.tinagostravelling.wordpress.com), I
wonder if the steering group itself would qualify, or would one
of the community groups at Borgie, Thurso, Dunnet, Durness, the
NW Geopark or John o Groats be able to take things forward.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Kind regards.
