Welcome to our weekly round-up of planning news across the Highlands.

Read on for more details.

APPROVED: ‘Designer’ pizza firm arrival in Highland capital

Fast food firm Fireaway is coming to the Highland capital.

Invernessians will soon have the chance to sample some of its “designer” pizza slices, with plans moving forward to turn a vacant unit into its most northern outlet.

The company boasts of serving up “artisan pizza in 180 seconds”.

Last week, Fireaway pizzas opened up a place in Mastrick, Aberdeen. The food and drinks team recently reviewed the newly opened Aberdeen outlet.

What do Fireaway outlets look like?

Rebecchi Architectural represented Javed Aziz in the application for the transformation of the retail unit near the Pepe’s Piri Piri on Harbour Road in Inverness.

Highland Council has rubber-stamped plans for the new outlet at the former fabrics store Remnant Kings which was closed down in December 2018.

The retail unit being subdivided includes the hot food takeaway and area for class 4 (start up food and drinks enterprise).

Also a roof mounted extractor will be installed.

Unit near Pepe’s Piri Piri on Harbour Road in Inverness which will be transformed into pizza parlour.

Since starting in 2016, the chain has opened scores of branches across England and has a handful in the Central Belt.

The “400-degree fire oven” means that Fireaway customers can be walking out the door with their pizzas about three minutes after ordering them.

SUBMITTED: Can We Fix It – Screwfix could come to Wick

Plans has been submitted to build two industrial units at the former Wick Airport industrial estate.

One will be a storage distribution warehouse and retail counter for Screwfix.

While the other will be a smaller unit for another occupier.

Screwfix could be coming to Wick.

Around 19 parking spaces are proposed on the site.

Roger Wilson is representing Caledon Properties Limited in application for the plans at the vacant grassland.

According to a design statement, the proposal meets Screwfix trading requirements of the surrounding Sutherland and Caithness area.

SUBMITTED: Electric vehicle charging station

An application has been submitted to build a electric vehicle charging station in Inverness. 

The construction is proposed for land to the south of Inshes Road.

The station will be consisting of charging posts together with electrical infrastructure equipment to include substations, lighting, access and associated works.

APPROVED: Canopy for Dingwall farm and garden centre

An application has been approved for the removal of an existing conservatory and the erection of a canopy.

This will take place at Frank Nicol Limited Farm and Garden Centre on Strathpeffer Road in Dingwall.

The firm was represented by Reynolds Architecture Limited.

These approved proposals include the building of a new steel frame canopy with timber screening to house a flower nursery.

This forms part of the existing farm and garden shop.

In a planning statement, they said: “The shop currently houses flowers and garden products to the rear of the main building, which cannot be seen by passers by.

“The erection of the canopy, which will display a variety of flowers and garden products will act as a more attractive front to encourage customers to visit.”
