General

LOCATION

This residential development site is situated adjacent to the east shore of Loch Awe in Argyll, accessed via a private road leading to the A840 public road. Close by is situated the village of Portsonachon which supports a hotel with associated facilities,self-catering accommodation,two local churches and a village hall. Loch Awe is well known for a wide range of activities, including excellent fresh water fishing, and provides an extremely scenic backdrop to the subjects. The local area provides a wide range of forest and more challenging hill walks and other attractions in terms of seasonal and residential amenity.

Local facilities are provided by the larger village of Dalmally, some 6 miles north, including a shop and post office, doctor surgery and pharmacy, primary school, local public services and a 9 hole golf course. Supermarket and regional facilities including major banks, professional services, secondary schooling, hospital and recreational facilities are provided for by the town of Oban,some 30 miles west.

DESCRIPTION

The subjects comprise a broadly rectangular, gradually sloping piece of ground extending to approximately 0.25 acres, bounded to the west by a 2.5m verge adjacent to the private access track from which the subjects are accessed. Direct access is proposed by means of a spur from this track, curving round to an access point on the eastern boundary of the site (see site plan). Boundaries are demarcated on the ground by means of coloured pegs.

The subjects benefit from an elevated location providing a very attractive outlook towards Loch Awe through gaps in broadleaf and coniferous woodland. It is envisaged that further selective clearance of woodlands on the subjects,with regard to the design and specific location of any dwelling proposed,would allow full advantage of such views to be made.

Outline planning consent (Ref: 03/02405/OUT) was granted over the subjects on 24th May 2004 for erection of a single dwelling house and it is understood that the vendor is in the process of renewing this consent for a further three year period. Subject to the granting of detailed consent/submission of reserved matters, the subjects will lend themselves to development, providing a comfortable family home, an attractive second home or a secluded weekend retreat with significant letting/holiday letting potential. (Copy PP available from selling agents by request).
