Scottish Construction Now writes:
The 52-year-old… is looking to erect a coastal property at Glenuig at Commando Rock, south of Arisaig.
In a planning application, McCartney’s architects say the glass-fronted home would enhance the landscape and “retain the wild nature of the site”.
However… Highland Council have received more than 50 public objections to the plans….
In a design statement for the house, McCartney’s architects, Brown and Brown, said: “Privacy is of prime import to the applicant, which was a chief reason why they acquired the site.”…
The council’s planning committee is expected to discuss the application in the coming months.
