Planning application for Inverness Campus at Beechwood to be submittedPress Release 5/3/09
Issued: March 5 2009
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) will submit a formal planning application for an academic campus at Beechwood in Inverness within the next few weeks. Public exhibitions detailing the proposals will take place next week at Inshes Church on March 11 and 12.
Inverness Campus is a multi-stakeholder project facilitated by HIE, which aims to create a modern tertiary education and research centre. It is currently estimated that the project could ultimately generate in excess of £50 million per annum for the Highlands and Islands economy.
It is anticipated that the campus will play a major role in the future of UHI Millennium Institute (UHI), the prospective University of the Highlands and Islands, and will allow a number of key education and research bodies to come together and create a modern academic environment in the city.
“The Highlands and Islands region has long suffered from an outward migration of talented young people from the region as they leave to study at universities in other parts of Scotland and further afield. UHI believes that an attractive, modern, education and research campus at Beechwood will help Inverness and the wider area to attract and retain the talent we need as the region’s economy develops,” said UHI Principal, Professor Bob Cormack.
Inverness Campus is the preferred location for new premises for Inverness College, as well as new consultancy and veterinary services for the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) and a further extension to the Centre for Health Science (CfHS) which is based at Raigmore. The Campus will also allow UHI to expand its facilities and will provide the local community with modern sports amenities, including a swimming pool, gym and outdoor pitches.
It is anticipated that Inverness Campus will be developed in phases over a 20 year period, with the first users opening for business in around four years’ time.
“Submission of the outline planning application is a key milestone in the creation of a modern academic campus in Inverness serving the Highlands as a whole,” says HIE Director of Operations Douglas Yule. “It is a clear statement of HIE’s commitment to the continued development of the region’s economy in the next 20 years, and recognises the crucial contribution that further and higher education can make. This sustainable and attractive environment will create research facilities and new start up companies, which are key components in creating prosperity, boosting productivity, and attracting high quality career opportunities. Our vision is to encourage the creation of a collaborative community of students at further and higher education levels and provide exciting opportunities for postgraduate study and research.
“In addition to academic institutions, Inverness Campus will also be a place for the community, providing sports and recreation facilities for local residents and modern accommodation for business incubation and innovative new employers.”
Inverness College currently has a student population of 7,300. Inverness Campus should allow the college and UHI to increase student numbers to nearly 10,000.
“Beechwood has been the preferred location for new facilities for Inverness College since 2007,” said Inverness College Principal John Spencer. “We need to modernise and expand our facilities to ensure that students in Inverness enjoy the best learning environment possible. We expect to conclude our formal options evaluation process within the next six months.”
The outline planning application includes facilities suitable for Inverness College, UHI, SAC, CfHS, as well as office space, sports facilities, public green spaces and student accommodation. The proposed projects within the development include academic facilities for further and higher education and an innovation science park for private sector R&D, commercialisation and business incubation. The proposed sports facilities include a modern swimming pool, gym, sports hall and multi-use outdoor pitches. There will also be a major new public park.
The Inverness Campus site lies between the A9 trunk road and the main Inverness to Perth railway line. The outline planning application includes new access roads and a pedestrian access over the A9. The plans also make provision for the proposed trunk link road (TLR).
Details of the proposals will be available for public viewing at Inshes Church on Wednesday March 11 from 1pm to 6pm and on Thursday March 12 from 10:30am to 9pm and will be available online from March 11 at http://www.invernesscampus.co.uk

Key to the futureCudrom san àm ri teachd
Inverness Campus is one of the most important developments proposed for the city - a multi-stakeholder project that will deliver significant economic benefits by creating a modern centre for education, research and innovation.
The vision is a campus that will play a major role in the future of UHI Millennium Institute, the prospective University of the Highlands and Islands, and will allow a number of key education and research bodies to come together to form a unique learning environment in Inverness.
The Campus will be one of the most significant development projects in the Highlands and Islands in the next 20 years and a key aspect of the planned expansion of East Inverness. Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has taken on the responsibility for encouraging stakeholder participation and driving the Inverness Campus project forward.
The Inverness Campus outline planning application includes facilities suitable for Inverness College, UHI, SAC (Scottish Agricultural College) and expansion of the Centre for Health Science. It also makes provision for sports and recreational amenities for the local community, plus public green spaces and student accommodation.
In addition to the academic aspects of the Campus, the proposals also include an innovation science park for private sector R&D, commercialisation and business incubation, which will stimulate new employment in the area.

Planning PolicyPoileasaidh Dealbhachaidh
The vision that has been developed by HIE and the stakeholders for Inverness Campus is closely aligned with the aspirations and guidance set out in the Highland Council A96 Growth Corridor Development Framework 2007.
The application site is situated within the A96 Corridor. It is envisaged that the Corridor will accommodate population growth of 30,000 over the next 30 to 50 years. The Corridor is therefore identified as a strategic growth area in the National Planning Framework, the Highland Structure Plan and the Inverness Local Plan.
Within this policy context, The Highland Council prepared the A96 Growth Corridor Development Framework setting out a masterplan for the area. This Framework was formally adopted by the Council in September 2007 and as such provides the most pertinent and up to date planning policy for the area.
The Framework envisages a population growth of 7,250 in the East Inverness area, accommodated in nearly 3,500 new homes, with associated new business, employment and retail opportunities. Inverness Campus is identified as critical element of this part of the Framework and key to the successful development of the area. The Framework document explains that the Campus will help deliver sustainable growth for the Corridor and the wider region.
Tha an lèirsinn a leasaich HIE agus na compàirtichean airson Àrainn Inbhir Nis a’ ceangal gu dlùth ris an togradh agus an stiùireadh a th’ air a chur a-mach ann am Frèam-obrach Leasachadh Fàs Slighe an A96 le Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd ann an 2007.
Tha làrach an tagraidh taobh a-staigh Slighe an A96. Thathar an dùil gun gabh an t-Slighe seo ri fàs sluaigh de 30,000 thar nan 30 no 50 bliadhna a tha romhainn. Mar sin, tha an t-Slighe comharraichte mar sgìre fàis ro-innleachdail ann am Frèam-obrach Dealbhachaidh Nàiseanta, Plana Structair na Gàidhealtachd agus Plana Ionadail Inbhir Nis.
Ann an co-theacsa a’ phoileasaidh seo, dh’ullaich Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd Frèam-obrach Leasachadh Fàs Slighe an A96 a’ sealltainn plana dhan sgìre. Chaidh gabhail ris an seo gu foirmeil leis a’ Chomhairle san t-Sultain 2007 agus, mar sin, tha e a’ toirt dhuinn a’ phoileasaidh dhealbhachaidh as ùire airson na sgìre.
Tha am Frèam-obrach a’ coimhead ri fàs sluaigh de 7,250 ann an sgìre Inbhir Nis an Ear ann an 3,500 de thaighean ùra, agus na lùib bidh cothroman gnìomhachais, fastaidh is reic às ùr. Tha Àrainn Inbhir Nis ga chomharrachadh mar phàirt riatanach dhen Fhrèam-obrach agus bunaiteach do leasachadh soirbheachail na sgìre. Tha am Frèam-obrach a’ mìneachadh gun cuidich an Àrainn le lìbhrigeadh fàs seasmhach na Slighe agus na sgìre mun cuairt.

About Inverness CampusMu Àrainn Inbhir Nis
Inverness Campus is proposed to be developed on 215 acres of land known as Beechwood Farm, situated on the eastern side of Inverness. The core site of 120 acres sits in a wedge created by the convergence of the A9 to the west, the railway to the east, and to the south, the proposed new Inverness Trunk Link Road (TLR).
HIE has taken a leading role in the project bringing together partners to develop the site as an academic and economic stimulus for the Highland region. In September 2009 the Board of HIE agreed to invest up to £25 million to start Phase 1 at the Beechwood site. This money will be used for site servicing works over the next five years, creating access, transport links and essential services, within an attractive parkland landscape.
The Campus will be a focal point for further and higher education in the city, as well as an innovation science park for private sector R&D, and business incubation, which will stimulate new employment in the area.
A sports facility will be open to the public and will be an important asset not just for the success of the academic campus, but also for the local community and the wider area. The aspiration is that it could become a regional hub for sports and a core training centre of excellence for athletes and other sports specialists based in, or coming to the region.
Thathar a’ moladh Àrainn Inbhir Nis a leasachadh air 215 acaire fearainn rin canar Tuathanas Coille na Faidhbhile air taobh sear Inbhir Nis. Tha am prìomh làrach de 120 acaire far a bheil an A9 air an taobh an iar a’ coinneachadh ris an rèile air an taobh an ear agus an rathad ùr a tha san amharc, Prìomh-rathad Ceangail Inbhir Nis (TLR) gu deas.
Bidh an Àrainn aig cridhe foghlaim àrd-ìre sa bhaile, a bharrachd air pàirc saidheans innleachdais airson rannsachadh is leasachadh na roinn phriobhaidich agus cruthachadh gnìomhachais is malairt a bhrosnaicheas obraichean ùra san sgìre.
Tha dùil gum bi amar-snàmh, seòmar-eacarsaich, talla is raointean an cois an ionaid-spòrs. Bidh e fosgailte dhan mhòr-shluagh agus bidh e cudromach, chan ann a-mhàin a thaobh soirbheachadh na h-àrainn sgoilearaich, ach cuideachd dhan sgìre is dhan choimhearsnachd mun cuairt. Bhithte a’ rùnachadh gum biodh e na ionad roinneil airson spòrs agus na shàr ionad trèanaidh sam biodh lùth-chleasaichean is eòlaichean spòrs na sgìre, agus a bhiodh a’ tadhal, stèidhte.
’S e lèirsinn nan compàirtichean dhan Àrainn:
- Sàr thogalaichean a nochdadh cudrom a’ phròiseict seo dhan Ghàidhealtachd is dha na h-Eileanan
- Àrainn a bhios mothachail air mar a dh’atharraich teicneòlas pàtrain ionnsachaidh agus a bhrosnaicheas obair chruthachail is ionnsachadh farsaing
- Ionad a bhios a’ nochdadh agus a’ freagairt air a shuidheachadh ann am baile soirbheachail an latha an-diugh, le na beanntan air a chùl ann an àrainneachd nàdarra
- Nochdaidh an Àrainn seasmhachd cuideachd agus brosnaichidh e ionad a dh’fhaodadh air a’ cheann thall oileanaich a thàladh dhan Ghàidhealtachd
