Applications Received and Decisions/Notifications
PUBLIC NOTIFICATIONS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Despite the ongoing limitations imposed by COVID – 19, the Commission still has the statutory responsibility to advertise all decrofting applications (other than applications to decroft the statutory house site and garden ground) and applications to constitute land as new crofts. It is also required to publicise notifications of the decrofting directions it has issued.
In terms of advertising such applications and notifications in the Skye area, we have been advised that the West Highland Free Press newspaper has temporarily suspended publication. During this period, the Commission will generally place adverts and notices in the Saturday edition of the Press and Journal newspaper.

Received and Decisions
Covid -19
The Commission is now accepting new applications, but as all staff continue to work from home and the office remains closed, these will be processed more slowly than usual. Any applications that relate to statutory deadlines, or which concern a Crofting Register form to notify the Commission that an event has taken place, will be given priority over other applications.
Where applications require a site visit, it will not be possible for any site visit to be carried out until the government eases the current restrictions on movement.Where any application involves a hearing, no hearings will take place until the current restrictions on movement are eased and the government has advised that public meetings (with appropriate physical distancing) can take place.
Approved Applications:
If you are a crofter who has had an application approved by the Commission within the last 3 monthsPlease read this important information regarding effecting Commission regulatory decisions.
You can continue to contact us by email info@crofting.gov.scot and although we are now in a position to deal with phone calls to our reception line, few staff have access to work phones to make return calls and therefore the service will be limited. We would therefore ask that you continue to contact us via email. You can of course continue to use the mobile numbers on the Contact Us page of this website to speak with us.
The Commission understands that this is a difficult time for all concerned, but we wish to reassure crofters and their agents that we will continue to work to restore normal levels of service. It is unlikely that this can be fully restored until the government permits offices to reopen and for various restrictions on movements and meetings to be eased.
