Plans unveiled for 56 home Gleann Mor House restoration

Plans have been revealed for the restoration of an old hospital that will see the creation of 26 luxury townhouses and 30 executive apartments.

Robertson Homes submitted their plans for the £13M development to Highland Council last week. The fire-damaged listed Gleann Mor House is situated at the Scottish house builder’s Westercraigs Development in Inverness.

The project will see the creation of over 100 local jobs as the Company look to employ a wide range of skills to undertake what is believed to be one of the most complex in the city’s recent history.

Robertson have recently submitted an application to build 50 new homes at Westercraigs and subject to approval, work on both projects will begin next year, with occupancy in 2017.

Managing Director of Robertson Homes, John Murphy said : “We are really pleased to submit these proposals. Built in 1864 Gleann Mor House is an historic building that was badly damaged by fire in 2009.

The first phase of the restoration of Gleann Mor House, 12 luxury apartments, was completed in 2011. Robertson Homes has since reconfigured its plans to replace many apartments with townhouses, maximising open space and landscaped gardens.

Mr Murphy commented: “Our plans are to create a sustainable semi-rural community at Westercraigs, including play facilities, green space and community facilities. We are also moving forward with plans to upgrade the link road to the A82.”
