This site, located behind Alexander Street and currently covered by trees, shrubs and some knotweed, is an area designated for housing development within Argyll and Bute Council's Local Development Plan. The site has recently been purchased by Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA), with a view to developing a mix of affordable and social housing.
Planning permission granted to the former owner of the site, has been granted for over 100 homes. ACHA are committed to working with local stakeholders to ensure that the development of this site considers the community need for high quality, energy efficient, affordable housing.
Protection of key environmental assets and good water management to mitigate against flood risk will be part of this process.
It is unclear at this stage on the timescale for any development.
