Inverness retail park expansion inches forward
October 21 2021
Aberdeen Standard Investments is seeking a three-year extension of plans to deliver a mixed-use extension to Inshes Retail Park, Inverness.
Occupying fallow ground between Dell of Inshes Farm and the A9 the expansion will introduce a large portal framed retail unit together with smaller premises to establish a neighbourhood shopping centre.
This will be joined by a pub/restaurant by the main road with landscaping around the fenced-off Dell Burn providing seating and play areas along a newly formed footpath under indicative plans drawn up by PWA and Pritchard Planninf Consultancy.
In a design statement the applicant wrote : "The expression of structural bays on the frontage of the retail buildings as pilasters gives rhythm to the main elevation and helps to express the function of the units. Full glazing between the bays will bring natural light into the units and create a pleasant shopping and working environment. Canopies along the front of the main unit will help identify the entrance area and assist in creating a welcoming environment."
As part of the works, 389 parking spaces will be provided.
Fallow ground adjacent to the A9 has been chosen for the extension
The extension will open up access to the Dell Burn

No...wait. It's a massive car park on a ring road that has already strangled the heart of Inverness. The glazing on the doughnut city that is Inverness.
