  • Ask questions and make comments
  • Discuss ideas, opportunities, and community priorities
  • Learn more about the proposed affordable homes for local families and key workers
  • Receive an update on the current feasibility stage of the project

Design boards and emerging proposals will be available for discussion and feedback

FEASIBILITY FUNDING SUPPORT

The current feasibility stage is being supported through funding from Argyll and Bute Council‘s Strategic Housing Fund of £99,000. The work is being carried out in collaboration with Communities Housing Trust

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The proposals are being developed with a strong focus on accessibility, sustainability, and place-sensitive rural design

Everyone is welcome! Please drop in any time between 4pm and 6pm
