  • Sutherland Local Plan: Housing Feedback Comments
    SUTHERLAND LOCAL PLAN: HOUSING FEEDBACK COMMENTS Housing For example: In light of the likely need for housing in your community are there any particular sites you would like to see developed? Do you have a view on the level of need and type of affordable housing required? Can crofting land contribute to meeting the demand for housing? General • There is plenty of land for development locally if permission was to be GIVEN! • Yes, you need to see to it that land is made available for house building and small farming. The rest would follow by natural investment and economic development. • Much of the new housing is haphazard; spoiling the beautiful rural areas of the country. Unattractive modern boxes. Need for housing for key workers, perhaps subsidised and only allowed to be sold to other key workers, not above the rate of inflation, definitely not to the retired or as second homes. • I cannot understand why permission is granted to build new houses when so many houses ripe for renovation are allowed to deteriorate until they are beyond redemption. • Develop only where there is public waste drainage. It is environmentally unsound to build more and more new houses in crofting areas. Invest in environmentally friendly septic tank solution i.e. enforce the creation of reed beds etc. to clear waste. • New house building to be allowed after planning consent for main house to automatically be allowed to expand for future children i.e. new wing or zone, larger housing in ground. Owners then do not have to have children move away and still allow for offspring independence with open market (see natural and cultural heritage.) • No – business brings work.

The main burn ran for nearly 10 km in a dog-leg from north of Lochinver (NC0924), north-east to the edge of Loch Beannach (NC1326), and then north- west to the edge of Loch Poll (NC0930), but there were others.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary North-west Scotland subtidal seagrass bed survey 2004 Commissioned Report No. 076 (ROAME No. F04LB05) Contractor: Ben James, Maris Ecologists Background Maris Ecologists were contracted by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) to participate in and subsequently report on a survey of nearshore marine habitats on the north-west coast of Scotland between Greenstone Point in Gruinard Bay and Sheigra at Kinlochbervie. The primary aim of the survey work was to map the distribution, size and extent of Zostera marina seagrass beds in the West Sutherland and North West Ross areas. The study was commissioned to determine the scale of potential ‘under-recording’ of the seagrass resource in the SNH North Highland area, to subsequently inform local implementation of the UK ‘Seagrass Beds’ priority Habitat Action Plan (HAP) and to support the continued delivery of SNH’s statutory marine nature conservation advice.
