Proposals
The proposed masterplan aims to achieve a sustainable residential development for Bruichladdich by adopting a simple site layout that echoes a typical rural development. The introduction of new housing to Bruichladdich will make positive contributions to the area: it will support population growth and local regeneration. The masterplan proposes 29 homes, 8 to be affordable dwellings situated at the heart of the development.

Access will be provided through a central spine which secures a single access into the site, this would allow the development of the site to be split into three phases (if required) that run parallel to the main road which will minimise visual impact and reflect the rhythm of the surrounding development context. A key objective of the proposed development is to provide a range of housing types and stock offering a mix of properties that reflect market demand.
