Welcome to our regular look at the latest planning applications passing before Moray Council.
Officials have approved plans to change the front of a Cullen home.
Meanwhile, a GRP kiosk will be installed at Keith’s wastewater treatment works.
Elsewhere, the Cabrach Trust is looking to install malt silos to support the operation of their whisky distillery.
And there are plans for a new whisky storage warehouse at Tomintoul Distillery.
More details on each of these applications below.
SUBMITTED: Cabrach Trust distillery
A charitable organisation is seeking permission to install malt silos to support the operation of their whisky distillery.
Collective Architecture is representing the Cabrach Trust in the application.
What is the Cabrach Trust distillery project?
The organisation says the distillery and heritage centre will be a social enterprise and play a key part in efforts to revive the rural community which fewer than 100 people now call home.
They have already pledged to deliver 15 new jobs and a £14.7m boost to the local economy over a 14-year period through the development.
In December, the Cabrach Trust revealed the £3.5m plans to revamp Inverharroch Farm.
Cabrach Trust chief executive Jonathan Christie said it is “vital” that work has already started on site to show local people they mean business in delivering the project.
Mr Christie added: “The distillery has been a long time in the making and to be here now having walls being rebuilt, walls being taken down and foundations being lain is really important.
“It is really important to signal to the community that we mean business as they have been really patient up to now.
“To look over Inverharroch and see works emerging from the hillside is vital to make the community believe that we are going to do what we have been saying for a number of years.”
SUBMITTED: Plans for new whisky storage warehouse
A new whisky storage warehouse could be constructed at the Tomintoul Distillery.
Algo is representing Angus Dundee Distillers PLC in the application to build a warehouse on vacant land.
The Tomintoul distillery is located between Ballindalloch and Tomintoul in Speyside.
It produces malt whisky for blends and bottled as single malts.
The distillery was founded in 1964.
APPROVED: Changes at Cullen home
Changes will be made to the front of a Cullen home.
The approved plans will take place at 24 Grant Street, Cullen.
One of the property’s door’s will be replaced with a new double-glazed window.
Meanwhile, others will be replaced with new high quality, sash and case windows.
The windows will be painted, and glass will be toughened.
The other door will be changed for a new solid dark blue timber front door.
S Reid Design represented Craig and Linda Munro in the application.
APPROVED: GRP Kiosk
A GRP kiosk will be installed at the Keith waste water treatment works.
It is an electrical cabinet designed to protect wiring from environmental damage.
Scottish Water lodged the application.
They are strong, durable, waterproof and highly resistant to corrosion and UV damage, making them the ultimate defence against the elements.
Further planning applications can be viewed using Moray Council’s portal.
