Wrong location for this new prison. Milton of Leys needs recreational space first before any additional commercial land is approved. Also this will bring a lot of undesirabl visitors to a highly family populated are. Building the new prison should be in another commercial area e.g Longman or Carse? 

This prison will not be a replica of Porterfield where everything is hidden behind a big wall but more open and visible with fencing, more rehab centres etc bringing more traffic & noise so don't compare what is at the Crown at present to what this will be. This will be the start of the creation of a new industrial area in Inverness which is what should be objected to. 

This site in Milton of Leys should be zoned for tourism or recreational facilities for the locals who have little of this in Milton of Leys.

The prisoners will likely have better amenity features inside the walls than the local residents have outside it!!
