Kilmelford and Kilninver Community Council 11th June 2002

A meeting of the above Council was held on Tuesday 11th June 2002 at Kilmelford Village Hall.

The main items on the agenda were:

• The application for permission for five houses in Scammadale glen had been withdrawn.
• The proposed wind farm at Loch Avich was discussed, but no further action was taken. It was agreed that this would be reviewed when the application was submitted.
• The issue of roadside brushcutting was discussed, and the secretary reported that it was on the council task list, but was subject to budgetary restrictions.
• Concern was raised over dog fouling in public areas, and the chairman agreed to take this up with the local dog warden.
• It was expected that the completion of the Scammadale timber extraction was imminent and that the extraction contractors would repair any damage to the road.
• There were two planning applications discussed:
  • Kenmore Croft - extension to existing dwelling house
  • Melfort Pier - erection of laundry and storage shed
    Cllr Macaskill advised that this application had already been approved.
• The secretary reported that some £450 had been raised from the Loch Melfort beach clean, which would be going to Kilninver Primary School Board Funds.
• It was agreed that in future, community council meetings would be held on the second Tuesday of every other month. Notice of forthcoming meetings will be advertised ten days in advance as usual. It was reported that Alastair Oatts had very kindly agreed to site a community council notice board on the fence at Cuilfail Lodge. A suitable notice board was currently being sought, as this would allow posting of community council meeting minutes.

Note from the editor: according to the Planning Department, the information that the Melfort Pier and Harbour application for the erection of a laundry and storage shed had already been approved was incorrect. The application was withdrawn and replaced by another application which was discussed at the following Community Council meeting, as noted below.
