Propose site clear up / alternative use
Beyond empty windows and weathered walls lies untapped potential. Each vacant building in Kintyre holds stories of the past and possibilities for the future. From forgotten steadings to silent shopfronts, these spaces await new purpose.

Each mapped location represents an opportunity - for housing, for business, for community space, for growth. Let's identify these sleeping spaces and imagine their awakening.
By documenting these sites, we create a resource for:
-
Community planners
-
Potential developers
-
Local initiatives
-
Housing solutions
-
Heritage preservation
Because every empty building is a canvas for possibility, every vacant lot a seed bed for community renewal.
