Badenoch & Strathspey Area Place Plan

The Badenoch & Strathspey Area Place Plan (APP) has been developed and co-written by The Highland Council and Voluntary Action Badenoch and Strathspey (VABS) with support and involvement from Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), the Badenoch & Strathspey Community Partnership (CP) and its membership. Most importantly the APP draws together the aspirations of the communities of Badenoch & Strathspey. 

Rather than starting from scratch, the plan draws together and synthesises a wide range of existing evidence, including Community Action Plans, partner strategies, and previous engagement work across the area. It takes an “indexing” approach, consolidating priorities and aspirations already identified through extensive consultation activity undertaken by multiple organisations. 

 

The key priorities identified within the Area Place Plan are: 

People	Access to Healthcare Health and Wellbeing  Addressing Depopulation Community Capacity and Resilience
Place	Environment and Climate  Housing  Infastructure and Connectivity Roads and Pavements  Public Transport  Digital Connectivity
Prosperity	Employment and Economic Opportunities Support for Local Business  Education and Childcare  Tourism and Seasonal Work  Young People's Priorities

 

 

Community Action Plans (CAPs) for twelve communities within Badenoch and Strathspey were developed by Voluntary Action Badenoch & Strathspey (VABS).  The CAPs are available on the VABS website:  Voluntary Action in Badenoch & Strathspey | supporting community & voluntary groups and social enterprises (vabs.org.uk)
