PLANS to expand a fish farm in Loch Leven have been approved by Highland Council, despite opposition from Lochaber councillors and local organisations, writes Neill Bo Finlayson.
All three Lochaber councillors who attended the south planning committee meeting on Tuesday supported a motion to refuse Marine Harvest’s application to upgrade and expand its site near north Ballachulish to a 16-cage farm.
Their attempts to block the expansion were unsuccessful, however, as they were out-voted by fellow south planning committee members.
