We have not been afforded the opportunity to modify or revise our
plans by the Council due to various and lengthy delays that we were
subjected to through no fault of our own.
That is not to say that we are unwilling to modify/revise plans and we
have to an extent already discussed issues with planners and which
could be made conditional if our review were to have a positive
outcome for us. 
We commented on the planners’ desire for a more vernacular design
when we actually had taken cues from surrounding buildings – the
RNLI building, the Old Fire Station and the three storey Albert
Buildings, Bute View and Royal Buildings on the village Main Street;
all two residential storeys above shops.
Our building is below the apex height of the Tighnabruaich Hotel and
below the windowsill height of Appin Cottages.  
The garage which existed for years on site could be said to have had
an impact on pedestrian and driver safety, yet we are unaware of any
accidents.  The height of our building in that regard is irrelevant.
