On Wednesday afternoon we had a meeting with Martine, Senior Project Officer for the local authority, and Stuart from JMArchitects.  This followed a long meeting they had had with Hubco.  The NPR has now been signed and so we are underway again.  Over the last few weeks and months there has been a lot of behind the scenes discussions and planning to overcome the problems of the peat and the affordability gap.  We now have until the Christmas holidays to finalise the floor plans.  Hopefully the contractors will be able to start late summer 2014 with a handover date of spring 2016.  A formal statement should be issued soon by Moray Council, but this is all good news!
