Scottish Construction Now writes:
Back in December 2020, members of the Highland Council’s south planning applications committee unanimously refused permission for a planning application from Inverness Paving Ltd regarding land at Treetop Stables in Faebuie….
An appeal document for Inverness Paving Ltd said the project could boost the local economy annually and create jobs….
A letter rejecting the appeal said: “Ministers do not agree with the reporter’s view and conclusions that the proposal would not have a significant adverse impact on Culloden Inventory Battlefield or on the character or appearance of the Culloden Muir Conservation Area.
“Ministers consider that the loss of protected woodland, together with the impacts on the historic environment assets of Culloden Inventory Battlefield and the Culloden Muir Conservation Area mean the proposed development is contrary to the development plan overall.”
