Development guidance - Uig Development Brief

The Uig Development Brief covers the commercial core of Uig which lies immediately to the west of the Harbour. The purpose of the Brief is to provide a structured framework for guiding the physical development and transformation of the area over the next 20 years. A key part of this is to identify and coordinate development and regeneration opportunities, including those opportunities which may arise from Transport Scotland's investment in the Skye Triangle ferry service. 

The Brief sets out details of an agreed vision for the area including the identification development sites, acceptable land uses, together with guidance on appropriate siting and design of development, phasing and service provision. In setting this out, the Brief provides a detailed planning policy framework which the Council will use to inform its decisions on future planning applications and help steer investment decisions.
