Highland Council is committed to supporting development opportunities to realise the key infrastructure assets which the Highlands can offer. This application was a well-considered submission on which the developer and agencies worked well together to help deliver investment and employment opportunities without detriment to the wider environment. This along with other exciting opportunities currently being progressed in Highland will continue to establish the area as a centre of excellence in the energy and renewable sector creating jobs and apprentices.”
