Blairgowrie & Rattray Local Place Plan - Location based results
Last updated - Friday, 22 August, 2025 at 11:27AM
We are updating the survey details and adding filters as we go - below we will be adding the simple list of all comments from the surveys as they are compiled.
Suggestions based by location: Royal Hotel
Here are the suggested ideas for Royal Hotel:
Local Cinema
We do have Strathmore Screen once a month at the Town Hall but there were comments that we need a regular cinema.
Dundee cinemas accessible by public transport hence may reduce need/viability.
Lots of empty shops
There are too many empty shops/buildings that we need to try to fill:
- Royal Hotel
- M & Co
More housing is needed
Ensure any housing is supported by infrastructure.
Focus on town housing in the centre rather than expanding town.
Need more affordable housing for young and old.
Ensure any new houses fit with the style of Blair and area
Affordable smaller housing
Disability and pensioner friendly housing.
Affordable housing
We need more affordable housing including for rent.
Adapt town centre buildings to create flats for mixed ages.
Support for housing associations to look at refurbishing old buildings.
Hotel Accommodation
Option to redevelop the Royal Hotel or a designer solution making the hotel the destination as well as the town.
A decent hotel.
