Planning committee
Decided by Highland Planning Applications Committee on 10 Jun 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the proposal would reuse a vacant unit, support the town centre and reduce parking demand.
- The community council objected over parking pressure, access through a narrow passage and steep steps, and effects on local parking.
- The committee granted permission subject to conditions and asked the Roads Team to consider a traffic management plan.
