| | Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Store giant's fresh move on Inverness |
 | | The offer is subject to a number of pre-conditions, including outline planning permission for a 50,000sqft store as well as permission for a three-storey office block, a public house and hotel, a fast-food outlet, park-and-ride facilities and a five-a-side football pitch. |
 | | It is also subject to surrender of part of the land currently leased to Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC Trust, for which the club would receive compensation, believed to be about £2 million. |
 | | It says as the offer is subject to planning permission, the council’s position as planning authority would be compromised, the development would go against the local plan, and the council could not be seen to favour an Asda store in the area without jeopardising the validity of the local plan process. |
