  • 1 the HIGHLAND COUNCIL the Proposal Is to Establish a Catchment Area for Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL The proposal is to establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium catchment area for Lochaber High School EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A PROPOSAL PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 INTRODUCTION The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. The new Gàidhlig Medium (GM) catchment will overlay the current catchments of Banavie Primary School, Caol Primary School, Inverlochy Primary School, Lundavra Primary School, Roy Bridge Primary School, Spean Bridge Primary School, and St. Bride’s Primary School • To formalise the current arrangements relating to Gàidhlig Medium Education (GME) in related secondary schools, under which the catchment area for Lochaber High School will apply to both Gàidhlig Medium and English Medium education, and under which pupils from the St. Bride’s PS catchment (part of the Kinlochleven Associated School Group) have the right to attend Lochaber High School to access GME, provided they have previously attended Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. • Existing primary school catchments for the provision of English Medium education will be unaffected. • The proposed changes, if approved, will be implemented at the conclusion of the statutory consultation process. If implemented as drafted, the proposed catchment for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar will include all of the primary school catchments within the Lochaber ASG, except for that of Invergarry Primary School. The distances and travel times to Fort William from locations within the Invergarry catchment make it unlikely that GM provision would be attractive to parents of primary school age children, and dedicated transport from the Invergarry catchment could result in excessive cost being incurred.

  • 13/04363/FUL: Mr John Mann, Corran Ferry Hotel, Onich, Fort William, PH33
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.2 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLS/011/14 25 February 2014 13/04363/FUL: Mr John Mann Corran Ferry Hotel, Onich, Fort William, PH33 6SE Report by Area Planning Manager – South SUMMARY Description : Erection of restaurant and bar Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 22 - Fort William and Ardnamurchan Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : None required Reason referred to Committee : Timeous objections from members of the public residing at 5 or more separate addresses. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Planning permission is sought for a replacement for the Corran Inn, which was demolished in late 2013. The proposed development would comprise a bar and restaurant, with the restaurant on ground and first floors, and a self contained one bedroom manager's flat, accessed via an external stair, on the first floor. The proposed footprint would largely coincide with the former building. 1.2 Informal pre-application enquiry 12/04272/PREAPP was submitted: change of use from hotel/B&B accommodation to 4/5 self catering units within existing building, with existing bar retained. Generally supportive response subject to occupancy controls to prevent units being sold off separately. 1.3 The site is just off the A82 approximately 9 miles south of Fort William, adjacent to the queue for the ferry crossing from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour, and next to the Corran Bunkhouse. There is a car park in front of the former Inn, accessed off the road to the ferry. No changes are proposed to the existing access and car park. 1.4 No supporting information submitted.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.
