Local Place Plan Information Notice

Euan Kershaw on 14 April 2025

Forres Community Council, Forres Area Community Trust, Forres Area Forum and
Community Sports Hub have prepared a proposed Local Place Plan (LPP) for the Forres
Community Council boundary area.

This LPP sets out the ways in which our community wants to see land developed and used
and a spatial vision for our town and has used information from consultations carried out
during the period 2023 – 2024 and is based on feedback received.

The LPP is a way of identifying and helping to deliver community projects and provides
information for other interested organisations. We hope that it will encourage more
collaborative working to enable a positive outcome for the continued improvement and
development of the Forres Community.

If you have comments on the proposed LPP please email them to info.fcc@gmail.com The
deadline for comments is 5pm Sunday 11 th May 2025.
