Ardrishaig North

On this page you will find the latest design proposals for the proposed improvements around the car park and waterfront opposite the shops.

Following the last round of public consultation in June 2020 , the designs have been updated to take account of the feedback received during that consultation. Thank you to all those who took the time to look at the draft proposals and offer feedback.

The finalised proposals take account of that feedback, and have been adjusted to meet the available budget. You can see the finalised plans and drawings below.


The main changes are:

  • Road crossing simplified with change in surfacing only relating to crossing point

  • Raised planters along A83 and sea wall omitted to increase pedestrian space

  • Accessible parking spaces moved closer to A83 & shops

  • Paving links between the road crossing and the new public square

  • Proposals omitted from land outside Public Hall

  • Wall added to water's edge to create a more sheltered space

What will happen next? A planning application for these final proposals should be submitted later in the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the News page for updates.

If you’d like to make detailed comments on the proposals, you will be able to comment in response to the planning application.

Construction work is scheduled to commence later in 2021.

What people said in September 2019

You can see the proposals that were put forward for public consultation in September 2019 by clicking here.

21 people responded to the consultation on those proposals.

When asked what they liked about the proposals, the most popular things were:

  • The proposals for the landscaped areas, green spaces and tree (7 people)
  • The pedestrian crossing (5 people) - but 3 other people didn’t like it; see below
  • Moving the bus stop (3 people)

When asked what they didn’t like about the proposals, the only concern raised by more than one person was the position of the proposed pedestrian crossing and zigzag lines by the shops - because of the likely impact on shop turnover, and even viability, from vehicles being prevented from parking directly outside the shops. 5 people raised this concern.

When asked whether the proposals would be good for the community, 13 respondents said yes, 3 said ‘partly’ and 2 said no.

The survey also asked if there is anything missing from the proposals. This led to a range of useful comments, with no particular common themes.
