Councillors have been asked to approve plans by fashion designer Stella McCartney and her husband Alasdhair Willis for a clifftop home in Lochaber.
The proposals for a site on Loch Ailort, a sea loch west of Fort William, had received dozens of objections.
Opponents raised concerns about the property’s size, design and impacts on the landscape and wildlife.
However, amended plans were submitted to Highland Council officers and they have recommended that councillors grant permission, subject to conditions.
