Dear Stephanie

2021/0305/DET : Demoli­tion of derel­ict hotel, Togeth­er with the erec­tion of 10 No. flats, and asso­ci­ated park­ing at Stru­an House hotel, Car­rbridge, High­land, PH23 3AS.

Thank you for the con­sulta­tion on the above applic­a­tion and for the exten­sion to the ori­gin­al response date to the 1^st Novem­ber 2021.

The CVCC, fol­low­ing our meet­ing (28^th Oct), sup­port the devel­op­ment overall.

There were some con­cerns raised at the meet­ing, how­ever, and we would wish you to con­sider them in your assess­ment. We note that a couple of the pro­posed flats are to be suit­able for dis­abled res­id­ents. This is warmly wel­comed, but please be aware that the pave­ments in Car­rbridge at the site and par­tic­u­larly trav­el­ing fur­ther north into the vil­lage centre, nar­row down to barely a foot wide, there is also a lack of dropped kerbs. Any­one in a wheel­chair or with mobil­ity issues would have great dif­fi­culty access­ing loc­al ser­vices such as the shop/​post office/​pub/​church etc. If pos­sible, could this be addressed by way of con­di­tions or leg­al agree­ment to have the pave­ments widened/​altered to accom­mod­ate wheel­chair users?

Res­id­ents more dir­ectly affected by the devel­op­ment have expressed con­cern at prox­im­ity to their prop­er­ties and con­cern at the loss of day­light and sunlight.

Kind regards Den­ise Stott (CVCC Plan­ning) PS I will also send this through the eplan­ning portal if I can!
