Description

Fort William is the principal commercial and service centre of Lochaber and the wider West Highlands, offering a vital economic base for both local residents and visitors. With a town population of around 10,300 people — supported by a wider catchment in Lochaber of approximately 19,000 residents — the town offers a strong range of amenities including schools, healthcare, retail and leisure facilities.

Fort William also benefits from a railway station on the West Highland Line as well as regular bus links to Inverness, approx. 66 miles to the north east and Glasgow, 122 miles to
the south.

The site is situated in Upper Achintore on the southern outskirts of Fort William immediately to the south west of Connochie Road, approximately 1 km from the A82 trunk road.

The subject site is to be sold for the proposed development of commercial units in order to meet local demand. Owner occupier developments will also be considered. Please note
proposals for open storage will not be considered. Planning permission is in place and a commitment to developing the site in line with this planning permission (or similar) will be a condition of any sale. Offers to develop part of the site in a similar way may also be considered on a case-by-case basis. The subject of sale includes the areas shaded blue and pink on the plan overleaf. The purchaser will have an obligation to develop the access road highlighted in pink and grant a right of access over this road to any occupier of the northern area of the site. Maintenance of the access road will thereafter be shared between the north and south occupiers.
