RESIDENTIAL development land with planning permission in principle for 300 houses has been put up for sale.
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has been appointed to market the land at Nairn, located in what it described as a “popular affluent location”.
This greenfield site is specifically allocated for development within the adopted Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan, Shepherd noted.
The land extends to around 68 acres with the southern boundary running parallel to the A96. Agricultural land runs along the eastern and western boundaries while, to the north, the site is bounded by Nairn Golf Club.
Planning permission in principle was originally granted at Delnies in 2015 for a mixed-use development comprising 300 houses; tourism and heritage uses; equestrian and ecological centres; hotel and conference facilities; a championship golf course, clubhouse, and golf academy; community woodland; and country park with associated infrastructure.
Neil Calder, partner in the Inverness office of Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “Nairn enjoys a superb setting on the Moray Firth. Historically it was the ‘county’ town and principal administrative and service centre for Nairnshire.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
