This map features proposed projects for the Dunoon and Kirn Local Place Plan. The projects focus on the use of land and building assets within the Dunoon and Kirn Community Council ward only. Projects also include information to inform the development of a Community Action Plan (CAP).
The affordability and availability of housing in Dunoon is a key local challenge fuelling poverty and feeding into depopulation and limited economic growth. In 22/23 there were 114 homeless presentations in Cowal, including Dunoon. Despite Argyll and Bute Council declaring a Housing Crisis, also in 2023, innovation in this area is slow. The costs of building and retro fitting homes and tackling depopulation through the provision of housing has not yet resulted in major change.
