In September 2007, The Highland Council approved the final parts of the A96 Corridor Strategy, the Strategic Environmental Assessment and the Developer’s Contribution Protocol.

Following this decision, the Estate informed local communities that it was preparing a planning application for Tornagrain, which we hope to submit in the summer of 2008. The application will require to be accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

As the first stage of the preparation of the EIA experts in a number of fields such as ecology, landscape, archaeology and transport have carried out assessments of the current condition of the site against which assessments of the impact of the proposal will be made.

Moray Estates wish members of local communities to be able to see the outputs from this stage of work and are therefore holding a public exhibition to provide information on the analysis undertaken to date.

This exhibition will be held on Wednesday, 7th November (12-9) and Thursday, 8th November (10-9) in Petty Church Hall, off the A96 by Tornagrain. The EIA experts will be on hand to answer questions and discuss issues that arise.

The exhibition boards have been reproduced as a pamphlet, which is downloadable HERE. (1MB .pdf)
