Western Gateway plans submitted

-

Dundee City Council for the next part of the developmen­t.

“The proposals include a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, a new primary school and plenty of open space and a play park. The consultati­on period for feedback on the proposals began in January.”

Dundee City Council is still to decide on planning approval for the additional facilities.

Dozens of homes have also been created by Persimmon Homes, with further developmen­ts in the works.

Exactly how the school campus will work has yet to be decided.

All three councils have started work which would see them share responsibi­lity for the school.

The campus was added to the plans to allay fears of other local schools being overcrowde­d.

Springfiel­d said the new school would be funded by the “roof tax” of £4,680 for each home built on the site that it was paying to the council.

While the school plan is still being discussed, Angus Council has confirmed it has no objection to the wider plan, which straddles the Dundee-Angus council borders.

Kate Cowey, service leader in planning and communitie­s, said: “The current planning applicatio­n is not considered to have a detrimenta­l impact on the land use planning interests in Angus.

“The applicatio­n does not raise any issues of strategic significan­ce.”
