Planning permission is being sought in principle for 10 new houses on the site of Kilbowie Outdoor Centre in Oban.
Beaton and McMurchy Architects have submitted preliminary plans to Argyll and Bute Council to develop the site of the centre on Gallanach Road.
Kilbowie, which was rub by North Lanarkshire Council and provided five-day adventure trips for school pupils from the area, was demolished in 2020 after North Lanarkshire Councillors decided by one vote that the facility should be closed.
Argyll and Bute Council’s planning officials are expected to rule on the bid for planning permission in principle by Christmas, and the plans are now available for the public to view and submit comments.
No design and access statement has been made available as part of documents for the application, but a plan graphic shows the site divided up into 10 housing plots.
North Lanarkshire Council’s policy and strategy committee voted in January 2020 to close Kilbowie, with a bid by the authority’s SNP group to retain it at a special meeting two months later proving unsuccessful.
A North Lanarkshire Council spokesperson said in July 2020 that it was intended to sell the site as two lots – the main site of 6.62 acres, and a C-list stable block converted to classroom and storage space of 444 square metres.
A petition against the decision to close the centre attracted over 12,500 signatures, but the bulldozers moved into the site in October 2020.
The plans can be viewed, and comments submitted from the public, by visiting Argyll and Bute Council’s planning portal at argyll-bute.gov.uk and using the reference number 23/02092/PPP.
