Housing Survey Report – October 2018
Click Here to download the final report of the Housing Survey that the Development Group carried out across the community in the summer. We had an excellent response (27% of households) so thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to complete and return it.
7 of those who responded have housing needs, although only 1 of these had registered this with the council or LSHA. As a result of this we have now shared the report with potential housing partners, including Lochalsh & Skye Housing Association and the Highland Small Communities Housing Trust, with a view to progressing this aspect of the project.
We also collected other information as part of the survey and the results/feedback from this are also document in the report.
Kelp Harvesting
If you were one of the people that responded to Marine Scotland regarding the pre-application by Marine Biopolymers Ltd. for a license to dredge the seabed for kelp, then you may like to know that the Scoping Advice Letter to them has been published by Marine Scotland. You can download it from http://marine.gov.scot/mslot-all-application-and-project-documentation.
If you fill in the search box above “Document Type” with “Seaweed” it will reduce the list to the relevant documents.
There is no facility to register an interest in future publication on this matter, but if you email Marine Scotland requesting they let you know, you may be lucky! Their email address is MS@marinelicensing.gov.scot.
