The last thing i can find is this article from the Forres Gazette in oct 08 Quote: Plug is pulled on eco-homes plan Published:  08 October, 2008 A CONTROVERSIAL planning application by the Forestry Commission to build 40 eco-homes in woods near Nairn has been withdrawn. Campaigners were reported to be pleased that the plans for 32 homes and eight chalets, which were due to go before Highland Council on Monday, had been put on the back burner. However, there were worries among the residents living near the Kilnhill Woods area that the planning application might be re-submitted in the future. http://www.forres-gazette.co.uk/n..._is_pulled_on_eco-homes_plan.html _________________ Better late than never!
