Live planning applications submitted to Highland Council — 5,000+ applications in our database, updated regularly. Use the filters to find new builds, commercial projects and extensions by trade, keyword or postcode.
Highland Council publishes planning applications for all development work across its vast area — the largest local authority in the UK by land area — covering Inverness, Fort William, Aviemore, Wick, Thurso, Dingwall and the surrounding rural and coastal communities. LeadLinka aggregates these applications regularly and makes them searchable in one place — so contractors, tradespeople, and developers can find upcoming work before it reaches any tender platform. The Highlands generates significant construction activity in tourism infrastructure, renewable energy (wind and hydro), commercial development in Inverness, and rural housing. Use the trade loadouts to filter for your specific discipline.
