 Asda wants to open the store on a site at Slackbuie |
Asda's plans to open its first supermarket in Inverness have been recommended for refusal. Highland Council planners said the proposal for a 45,000 sq ft (4,180 sq m) store at Slackbuie Farm went against planning policies.
A petrol station and five small retail units are also proposed for the site on the Southern Distributor Road.
The planning application will go before next Tuesday's Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey committee.
Asda, which does not have a store in the Highlands, said it was committed to the Inverness project.
A spokesman said government agency Transport Scotland had dropped its initial objection after the supermarket giant provided more details on potential traffic impacts.
He said the plans also had the backing of local business.
