Trust lodges new Perth homes plan
Much-needed affordable housing is in the pipeline for Perth’s Gannochy district.
This week the Gannochy Trust lodged its blueprint for 48 new homes which will extend its neighbourhood.
The scheme concludes a move first mooted five years ago when the trust marked its 75th anniversary and set the aim of creating modern homes to meet current needs.
Each of the new homes will seek to fill the gap in the affordable sector, with the mix catering for those with mobility issues, small families and lower occupancy across a range of age groups.
Trust chairman Dr James Kynaston said:“We were very encouraged to receive positive, constructive feedback from the community during our consultation period which helped shape the final proposal which we’ve submitted to Perth and Kinross Council.
“We are particularly proud to confirm that the key themes of the housing development underpin AK Bell’s original ethos while ensuring we provide the people of Perth with high quality affordable housing.
“Our application sets out the development of a lifetime neighbourhood, the provision of healthy homes for life, and the development of community greenspace and improved access to the countryside.”The
