Views Sought On Leanachan Masterplan

Construction News Image
Forestry Commission Scotland and the Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is wanting to hear from the local community regarding the completed Leanachan Masterplan.

The proposals would see a five-star resort hotel, bunkhouse and low-impact tourist accommodation, as well as a campsite located in an enhanced woodland setting, the Commission has said.

A drop-in day has been organised for next month at the Pinemartin Café, Nevisrange, to allow the local community to view and comment on the plans. The event will take place on 4 November from 2pm to 7pm.

Commenting on the plans, Robert Grant, from the Commission's team which is managing the project, said: "We've established good links and a robust feedback process with key stakeholders and the wider community who are keen to get involved with these developing proposals.

"We're aiming for a resort hotel that complements, rather than competes with, existing provision in the area and consultation has highlighted a general agreement with the principle of a resort complex. The majority of participants would welcome the facilities and the additional tourist numbers that it could bring.

"We're still listening, though, and have already taken on board the feedback we've received. This latest version of the proposal includes some changes to the bunkhouse as well as some new elements including the Lochaber Rural Complex site and Ski Range and we're now looking for further comment."
