Stornoway site identified for affordable housing development

A site at Blackwater on the Isle of Lewis has been identified as potential space for new affordable housing.

The site is located adjacent to the existing Gleann Dubh development.

It is part of a programme of site identification by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar to assess larger potential housing sites in and around Stornoway.

The council’s planning service has also drafted a Planning Brief to help move the potential Blackwater development along.

The Brief aims to inform a more expanded masterplanning exercise by a potential developer, and aid planning appraisal of any future development proposals for the site.

Comments from the public and any stakeholders are encouraged.
