Hi, I have just bought a plot at Spean bridge Lochaber.
More plots are available...go to Zoopla search Scotland area... Under £20K (there might be some at higher prices but not looked)
Self interest declaration, if others buy plots it might improve my chances of getting planning permission.
Well I've bought a plot,482 square meters on flat ground with good access road but a bit muddy at my end.
I looked up planning and discovered huts.
I put in a low offer and got it, oh 51ht a fool and the money he once had.
When I look into it deeper the conditions get stricter than I thought.
Hedging must be indigenous, I was thinking leylandii but...
What else have I not thought of?
I am thinking 30 square meters with decking right round and a sort of wraparound overhanging roof which covers the decking.
Clear plastic sheet with string through it hanging from wraparound roof which doesn't need to be on the planning application. (Roof does plastic doesn't) the actual floor area including "awning" is thus much greater
Are huts allowed to have awnings?
How likely is it that I will get permission for anything? (I must admit I would prefer a dwelling house).
What do I have to do to get planning permission, what's the process?
Anyone had experience of Lochaber council, what are they like?
Well I'm Paul &will be back.
Thanks for all the replies.
I have withdrawn my offer and am no longer buying this plot.
There are lots of plots available at Spean bridge but after reading this I am not going to buy one.
Maybe it's a storm in a teacup and these plots are a bargain.
Thank you forum.
