Tomintoul is a village in Moray, within the Cairngorms National Park. Attractive with tourists, it has a high number of second homes, and lack of available long-term housing.
We worked with the Tomintoul and Glenlivet Development Trust (TGDT) to undertake community consultation on housing need, which clearly showed that there was a demand for good quality affordable housing within the community. We then supported the Trust to identify and acquire a site, with funds from the Scottish Land Fund.
We provided development support for the construction of 12 affordable units on the site of the old school, which began in spring 2021, including several live/work units. The homes were completed in March 2023, and will help to address fuel poverty and social isolation and includes EV charging points, and PV panels on every home.
