Following local concern regarding our involvement with the recent planning application at Calgary Bay (ref 26/00126/PP), we wish to clarify our position. Mull and Iona Community Trust has been involved with preserving the dune environment and the machair at Calgary Bay as part of the SSSI site for over 20 years, through its Countryside Ranger Service and supporting the local voluntary group Friends of Calgary Bay.
We have a lease with Argyll and Bute Council to manage and preserve almost the full extent of the SSSI with the remaining section owned by private landowners. Our only link with this planning application is that we lease land which forms a small section of the proposed access.
