Land at Rahane, Overlooking The Gareloch

With detailed planning permission for seven units of 1 and a half storey, 5-bedroom, detached villas. Each having double garages and vehicular access within a rural setting of Mamore Farm, Rahane between Garelochead and Rosneath. The full site measuring 2.19 acres.

The design of the site must be of a rural style to compliment and integrate into the environment of the surrounding countryside.
The orientation and the accommodation/internal layout will be key to ensuring privacy, creating a rural feel and making the most of the solar aspects and views of the site, uniquely receiving the sun from dawn until dusk.
Positioning of the main public spaces to the front (east and south) and first floor will maximise daylight and views while positioning ancillary accommodations such as garage, utility, home office etc. to the west and north would be best use of space/aspect.
Bedrooms positioned to the first-floor rear (east) would allow access to balconies with views to the loch and west to the hills.

A home office can be included in the accommodation to allow working from home. As many of the natural features within the site as possible should be maintained with some additional tree planting in order to integrate the development into its natural setting.

A SUDS (sustainable drainage system) scheme will be designed for the site which will include a large filtration trench to the west of the new road to catch both surface water from the road and the adjacent field.
All rainwater drainage will be taken to ground within the site. Waste drainage will be taken to a treatment plant and soakaway within the site.
The site is split into three areas by a tree lined burn and an old stone dyke, both running west to east. Minimal tree removal, crossing of burn and access through the stone dyke can be achieved to maintain these features.
Pavement to be formed along southern edge of site equal to 105 linear metres.
Adoptable road is to be formed of 1272 sq m (excluding private driveways

The village of Rosneath has a number of local convenience stores, cafes, a primary school and health centre which meets everyday needs. The train station provides a sleeper service to London and up the west coast of Scotland to Oban and Fort William.

A half hourly bus service also runs through Garelochhead providing services to Helensburgh, which is a larger seaside town and provides a wider selection of amenities including a large number of shops and supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, along with good schooling, both at primary and secondary level

The area is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life, with surrounding beautiful scenery and being on the Three Lochs Way walking route, with Loch Lomond and its shores only a short drive away. In the other direction the Rest and Be Thankful allows travel up the west coast of Scotland and to the Highlands. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance, as is Glasgow International Airport.
