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.
