Afternoon, I am contacting you in relation to the above proposal to construct a new foodstore in Portree on land at Drovers Way/Bealach Nan Drobhairean, Portree.
The proposed store is to be operated by Tesco and will extend to approximately 32,000sq.ft together with a petrol filling station. The site is identified in the Local Development Plan for retail use and the site was previously granted planning permission (ref.14/01464/PIP).
We are holding public consultation events on Saturday 27th September 2025 to display the proposals and to allow members of the public to view these and ask any questions about the proposal.
The first event will take place between 10am and 1.30pm at Broadford Village Hall, 1 A87, Broadford, IV49 9AE.
The second event will take place between 3pm and 6pm at Portree Community Centre, Camanachd Square, Portree, IV51 9BW.

MacMillan Coffee Morning @ Struan School on Friday 26th September from 11am onwards. Raffle and Hamper, so bring your loose change.
Entry by donation.
Anyone able to help with baking or assistance on the day would be greatly appreciated.
Everyone welcome.
The area next to the school that has been fenced off with orange fencing contains Japanese Knot Weed (a particularly invasive and damaging species of alien plant). Scottish Woodlands have been treating the area and are due to do another spraying soon, as well as restore the perimeter fencing that has been disrupted by the recent winds. In the mean time there is evidence of regrowth from previous sprayings so the area and everything in it must be treated as contaminated.
The next slide show will be Restoration of a Chinese Lacquer Cabinet, a free event and all are welcome. Tea and biscuits at the end. Friday 29th August starting at 7.30pm
