These pictures show sites the Highlands Council has identified as appropriate for more growth under the "Transfer of Development Rights" program. This program allows landowners who can't develop their property due to the Highlands Act to sell the development rights to a builder, who then constructs the project on one of the designated 'Receiving Zones". The sites on this page, which include a sampling of sites within the Preservation Area where development is supposed to be strictly controlled, are completely inappropriate for development, as they contain waterways, wetlands, slopes, and other environmental constraints which should exclude further development.
