Plans to renovate a public hall beside Loch Long and build three holiday cabins to raise money for the community have been revealed.
Blairmore Village Trust has submitted the plans, which include a total of 26 parking spaces, to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority.
The village hall would be renovated to improve bathroom facilities, with access paths created around gardens together with amphitheatre seating and event space.
A design statement adds that rental from the cabins, designed on Passivhaus principles, will provide income for the trust, paying for upkeep of the gardens and future developments.
“Every aspect of the cabins, from each stage of design, construction and build, through to the use and future potential has been carefully considered, resulting in an efficient, warm, dry, light filled and beautifully practical building that will complement its local environment whilst minimising the impact,” it adds.
“This proposal seeks to improve the local area by developing the current informal open space of Blairmore gardens by providing the community with much needed off-road parking, landscape plan including robust accessible pathed pathing up the gardens following the current winding nature for the cut grass paths currently on site.
“Further enhancements to the gardens include amphitheatre seating to be cut into the hillside providing a viewing platform to the pier and providing a performance space for events within the community.”
Details are on the national park’s website – the reference number is 2022/0294/DET.
