Decided by Highland Planning Applications Committee on 5 Aug 2026.
Refused
- Officers advised refusal because the house would be poorly sited, harm the landscape and conflict with the established settlement pattern.
- One representation raised concerns about siting, the building line, the track, the scenic area, landscape, croftland and policy compliance.
