"Opponents raised objections about the likely impact of the property's size and design, as well as the impact on landscape and wildlife of the remote Moidart peninsula."
"Experts suggested that an exclusion zone would be necessary to prevent any harm or disruption to the animals, which are a protected species."
"NatureScot indicated it would licence the plans after Willis commissioned a wildlife survey of the site, stating that cameras should be put up during the building work."
Stella McCartney has been granted permission to construct a 5m home on a Highland peninsula after a lengthy planning process. The split-level design features a turf roof and natural stone walls, situated 30 metres above Loch Ailort. Objections were raised regarding the size, design, and potential impact on local wildlife, particularly otters. Amended plans included conditions for wildlife protection and public access. NatureScot will oversee the project, ensuring measures are in place to protect otters during construction.
