Argyll and Bute Council’s Development Plan suggests that six dwellings is the minimum number of units that comprise a ‘minor settlement’. On the basis of this definition, there are some 215 to 220 settlements within the local authority area. Approximately 83% of the area’s population live in, and 17% live outwith, these settlements. Almost a quarter of the area’s population live in settlements of less than 1,000 people or outwith a settlement entirely.
