Complete the Community Engagement Survey today!

Strathdearn Community Council is preparing a Local Place Plan for Strathdearn. In early-2026, we’ll be holding in-person events at the Hub so the community can share their ideas and give their opinion on local services, and the development and use of buildings and land in Strathdearn. 

To make sure we hold community consultation events on days/times that suit as much of the community as possible, please complete our survey to tell us your preferred days/times. 

You’ll find a paper survey inside your November community newsletter. Or you can respond online, using the MS Forms link: https://forms.office.com/e/T02tFhCcj9 or the QR code below.

What is a Local Place Plan 

A Local Place Plan is a type of community-led plan that a community can prepare to tell their Local Authority about their aims and aspirations for the development and use of buildings and land in their local area.   

Strathdearn Community Council is combining its Local Place Plan preparation with refreshing the Strathdearn Community Action Plan, so the new, single community-led plan for Strathdearn can include any topic that’s important to the community for the future of Strathdearn.

The Council’s webpage: www.highland.gov.uk/localplaceplans describes the process that we’ll be following for our Local Place Plan preparation.

Local Place Plan questions

Helen Bailey will be at The Strathdearn between 10am and 2pm on Tuesday 25 and Thursday 27 November, to answer any questions you may have about Local Place Plans. 

The information that Helen will have on display will include printed copies of registered Local Place Plans, so you can see examples of what other communities across Scotland have included in their Local Place Plans. 

Questions can be sent in advance of the drop-in sessions, or at any time, to Helen at: localplaceplan@strathdearn.org
