Employment and Enterprise MU1 North of Main Street These lands are located in close proximity to the centre of the town and can facilitate a mixture of uses associated with the expansion of the town centre. Development on the site must reflect the streetscape, integrity, scale and character of the rural settlement and the location of the site adjacent to the Architectural Conservation Area. All existing trees and hedgerows on the site shall be retained where possible, particularly along the eastern boundary of the site. Any proposals for development may include the provision of a suitably integrated bring-bank facility on the site, subject to satisfactory access arrangements. Opportunity Sites OP1 Opposite Tulla Pipe Band Hall This site links Tulla’s historic core to the Hill of Tulla. A mixed use development needs to respect existing buildings and edges while accommodating viable uses which can regenerate the town centre.
