APPLICATIONS for two Oban housing developments in Glenshellach were due to be decided by Argyll and Bute Council’s planning committee in Kilmory Castle yesterday (Wednesday).
Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA) plans to build 24 affordable flats, in two three-storey blocks of 12, in its final phase of a development west of Catalina Avenue. The application attracted no letters of support and 54 objections, citing the site’s overdevelopment and the ‘inappropriate’ scale of ‘this pair of sentry boxes’.
So far 78 dwellings have been granted permission, bringing the total to 102 homes – above the 90 units allocated in the Local Development Plan (LDP).
