A MASTERPLAN envisioning 600 new houses between Dunbeg and Ganavan as a ‘gateway’ to Oban was unveiled at a public meeting in Dunbeg Primary School on Friday.
If endorsed by Argyll and Bute Council, the Dunbeg Corridor Masterplan would allow developers to build ‘a mix of for-sale units and multitenure affordable homes’, including ‘recreation, commercial, community facilities, business and industry, and three strategic development roads’, on ‘vacant land to the north of A85 between existing settlements of Dunbeg and Ganavan’.
Link Group, one of Scot land’s largest social landlords, set out its vision to expand the two communities by ‘a series of new neighbourhoods’ in a ‘coastal woodland settlement’, which can act as a ‘catalyst for ancillary shops, cafes and community uses’ and ‘increase employment opportunities’.
