Scottish Government Reporter recomendation for Fairways -
"At some 78 hectares, release of the site would represent a significant and strategic expansion of South Inverness of which there is no evidenced need to provide in this plan period. While consultation has been conducted, there are no indications of support for the proposal from the local community submitted to this examination. Indeed, the opposite is true with representors raising concerns regarding loss of access, habitat, woodland and greenspace. I agree that careful siting, layout and design could enable delivery of some development on the site (as described in the strategic environmental assessment under the ’placemaking’ section). However, its impact on education capacity and other infrastructure has not been fully assessed and necessary mitigation identified. At the scale envisaged, and from the submissions made, I am not persuaded that matters of capacity could be suitably addressed."
