Upper Achintore housing goes public

Plans to build up to 400 houses in Fort William will be presented to the public next week.

Lochaber residents are being offered the chance to get a first look at a major new housing development on a site accessed via Connochie Road, above the centre of Fort William.

Link Group intends to submit a planning application to Highland Council for permission to build the new residential development, including landscaping, access and associated site development works. The first of two public exhibitions will be held at Lundavra Primary School, Fort William, from 4pm-8pm on Monday November 12, where representatives will be available to discuss the proposal and answer questions. A second public event will be held in early 2019 and will be advertised separately.

If a planning application is subsequently submitted to Highland Council, normal neighbour notification and publicity will be undertaken.

Further information may be obtained from Peter Brett Associates (PBA), 160 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2HG. Call 0141 352 2360 or email glasgow@peterbrett.com. Comments can be left at the event or be made by email/ postal return (contact details above) by Friday December 21. Comments submitted at this stage are not representations to the council but will be considered by PBA in the preparation of the planning application.
