| North Highland Way | |

| 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. | |

| to me | |
| 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 | |

| Hi there, | |
| I am copying my contacts in the Highland Council, and hope they | |
| can facilitate, as I am undertaking no further voluntary work | |
| until the North Highland Way project is funded. | |
| The groups mentioned are already at capacity. | |
| Kind regards. | |
