A potential site for a new restaurant and two hot-food takeaways is again being marketed in Inverness.
A sign has been erected by local estate agents Grant Stewart advertising that the two vacant units and restaurant site are available for rent or purchase on Millburn Road to the east of the KwikFit workshop and just off the Raigmore Interchange.
The details are also available on-line.
If all the developments went ahead, it would make that stretch of Millburn Road a hot-spot for tasty tucker, with Kentucky Fried Chicken drive thru, the Millburn chip shop and Regent Palace Chinese takeaway all a stone's throw away.
In 2016 Highland Council planners granted William MacMillan of Inchmore, Inverness, permission to change the use of the two single-story flat-roofed units from motorcycle showroom and workshop to two hot food takeaways.
At the same time the council planners gave the go-ahead to Mr MacMillan for a two-storey glass fronted restaurant to be built on vacant land adjacent to the two units.
It is understood these permissions were never acted upon, and since it is more than three years since they were granted, they will have lapsed although it is most likely fresh planning applications would be favourably regarded by the council.
Rental price for the units (one 140 sqm the other 64 sqm) is from £20,000 per annum, and price for them or restaurant site will be available on application.
The estate agents point out that the site has good road connections with both the A9 and A96 via Raigmore Interchange, and traffic heading to or from the city centre.
