Portree
This development of 249 houses is located on the outskirts of Portree on the Isle of Skye is based on the 'home zone' concept which encourages greater levels of community interaction and community spirit, greater levels of community supervision or self-policing and improved play opportunities for local children by encouraging walking and cycling, and by developing the sense of community.
Each of the five phases has a central 'village green' and toddler play area. The scheme also benefits from a SUDs attenuation pond, sports facilities, a central community facility, a large equipped play area, a linear park through the centre of the site and is surrounded by a community woodland.
