Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for a new brewery on Gigha have been given the go-ahead by council officers.
The small-scale facility was proposed by Anna and Dave Lannigan for a site at Achavinish, and attracted eight expressions of support from the public.
Argyll and Bute Council has now announced that planning permission has been awarded after a consultation which saw other elements removed from the plans.
A council officer said in a handling report: “The proposal relates to the conversion on an existing building to form a small-scale brewery at Achavinish on the Isle of Gigha. The development comprises internal alterations and the installation of brewing equipment, with no significant external alterations proposed.
“The proposal also includes the formalisation of two vehicular parking spaces and turning area within the existing hardstanding at the site.

“The building is a single storey stone structure under a slate roof and located immediately to the north of the main dwelling. The building at present is split into three internal areas which are proposed to be used for a brewery and two storage rooms.
“The site is accessed via an existing private access track situated off the C33 Gigha public road. The proposal would utilise existing servicing infrastructure at the site.
“The application as originally submitted also requested permission for a tap room and an events room. Following the consultation period and comments received from the roads officer, these elements were removed from the scheme.”
The official added: “The proposal has no impacts on the historic environment and does not impact habits or ecological impacts. The proposal will utilise the existing services already connected to the building.
“With regards to impact on neighbouring amenity and given the modest scale of the proposal and the nature of the use, it is not considered that the development would result in unacceptable impacts in terms of noise, traffic, or general amenity. The environmental health officer raises no objection to the scheme in this regard.”
