DEVELOPERS have revised their plans to build a three-storey, 40-bed student accommodation building in the centre of Fort William, three months after their initial design was rejected.
Cityheart Ltd have presented a fresh planning application to build within the grounds of the former St Mary’s RC Primary School after being forced to go back to the drawing board when their original plans were rejected after councillors agreed it would have a ‘detrimental impact’ on surrounding properties.
In October last year, the Highland Council planning committee rejected Cityheart Ltd’s previous application on the basis that the height and mass of the building was ‘overbearing’ and ‘not acceptable’ in relation to neighbouring houses.
