Working in collaboration with the Lochalsh and Skye Housing Association, The Destination Management Organisation has commissioned specialist Edinburgh-based Consultancy, 56 Degree Insight, to carry out the most detailed survey ever undertaken of businesses in the area.
The new development was designed to complement the landscape with Rural Design’s Alan Dickson mindful of the National Scenic Area designation which blankets Staffin. It includes significant stonework with walls and a gable end feature and the use of timber and traditional slated roofs.
The three-bedroom homes at Taighean a’ Chaisheil in Stenscholl, Staffin will be completed on Monday, January 17.
The development of this site is part of the Highland Council’s Local Development Plan and unlocks the opportunity to deliver up to 250 new homes in a phased development over the next 15-20 years, says LSHA.
The management committee approved the association’s new five year business plan.
