Plans for Savile’s Glen Coe cottage goes to Highland councillors

The site’s new owner, the family of retail business boss Harris Aslam, have sought planning permission to replace the property with a new home.

Highland Council planning officers have recommended councillors meeting later approve the plans.

It has been proposed to demolish the existing single-storey house and replace it with a new four-bedroom, one-and-a-half storey house, with a two-storey rear section.

The two buildings would be linked by a single storey section with a flat grass roof.

The proposed redevelopment includes honouring another of the cottage’s former owners – the celebrated Scottish climber and inventor Dr Hamish MacInnes.

Dr MacInnes, who died in 2020, invented ice axes and also a stretcher that is used by mountain rescue teams all over the world.

Outbuildings where the climber worked on his creations are to be redeveloped as an ancillary dwelling and named Hamish House.
