ACCESSIBLE LOCHABER Aguide toLochaber PRODUCEDBYLOCHABERDISABILITYACCESSPANEL The first edition of Accessible Lochaber was published in 2002 following several years of survey work by fieldworkers and volunteers from the Access Panel. This was a substantial and thoroughly researched body of work and it has formed the basis for this updated, enlarged and revised 2007 version. The original edition is now out of print. This revised edition benefits from five years of user feedback and has a re-arranged and more user- friendly layout, it embraces modern technology by including websites where available, and has been expanded to take in the Small Isles and Knoydart. The re-survey and text-updating work, undertaken by Kath Johnston and Edythe Knowles, has taken 14 months to produce and, as it will be stored electronically and be available on the web, should be relatively easy to keep up to date. Residents and visitors to any particular part of Lochaber need only download the pages from the Guide that refer to that particular area. The information in the Guide should be read in conjunction with Visit Scotland’s accommodation guides. We have tried to ensure that the information is correct and up to date (May 2007) but we would be grateful to hear from you if you find any errors or omissions. It is also advisable to check with the particular establishment. Again, Chris Ingham has produced the symbols, which we hope do not need any explanation. Dr Su Sen and Hugh Muir, my predecessors as chairmen of the Panel, provided the wisdom, inspiration and support to update and revise the Guide. This is greatly appreciated. The last five years have seen much enlightenment and a growing awareness about the needs of disabled people in our strides towards our aim of creating an equal world. Long may it continue. I hope you find this guide a small but useful step in achieving this aim. Ken Johnston Chairman. Achnacarry SPEAN BRIDGE Inverness-shire PH34 4EJ It gives me great pleasure to introduce this revised Access Guide to Lochaber. As someone who has difficulty accessing certain places and buildings, I know how important it is for people to be aware of likely problems that they may encounter so that they can be confident of overcoming them if that is possible and if it is not, to make alternative arrangements. We all know the attractions of Lochaber with its unsurpassed scenery and wonderful highland hospitality. It is a place where visitors can find peace of mind and where a huge variety of attractions are available. Whilst most people who come to Lochaber are hale and hearty, it is important not to forget that those who have a disability should also be able to enjoy as many of those attractions as possible. After the success of the first guide this new updated and enlarged version provides additional information to assist disabled people living in Lochaber and others to plan and enjoy a visit to Lochaber. It is very encouraging to see how many places are currently accessible to wheelchair users and I am sure that more will follow. The publication of this Guide will mean that Lochaber will be seen not only as a beautiful place for a holiday but also as one that cares for those who are less fortunate than others.

    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.

    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.
  • Loch Arkaig Land Management Plan Summary

    Loch Arkaig Land Management Plan Summary

    Loch Arkaig Land Management Plan Summary Loch Arkaig Forest flanks the Northern and Southern shores of Loch Arkaig near the hamlets of Clunes and Achnacarry, 15km North of Fort William. The Northern forest blocks are accessed by a minor dead end public road. The Southern blocks are accessed by boat. This area is noted for the fishing, but more so for its link with the training of commandos for World War II missions. The Allt Mhuic area of the forest is well known for its invertebrates such as the Chequered Skipper butterfly. Loch Arkaig LMP was approved on 19/10/2010 and runs for 10 years. What’s important in the new plan: Gradual restoration of native woodland through the continuation of a phased clearfell system Maximisation of available commercial restocking area outwith the PAWS through keeping the upper margin at the altitude it is at present and designing restock coupes to sit comfortably within the landscape Increase butterfly habitat through a network of open space and expansion of native woodland. Enter into discussions with Achnacarry Estate with the aim of creating a strategic timber transport network which is mutually beneficial to the FC and the Estate, with the aim of facilitating the harvesting of timber and native woodland restoration from the Glen Mallie and South Arkaig blocks. The primary objectives for the plan area are: Production of 153,274m3 of timber Restoration of 379 ha of native woodland following the felling of non- native conifer species on PAWS areas To develop access to the commercial crops to enable harvesting operations on the South side of Loch Arkaig To restock 161 ha of commercial productive woodland.

    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.
