Public views sought on flat proposals for ex-Dundee nightclub site

AFFORDABLE housing specialist Cullross is set to unveil plans to build 72 new flats on the site of the former Oxygen nightclub in Dundee.

The proposed development would comprise a mix of one and two-bedroom flats, with workshop and commercial units at ground floor level.

A proposal of application notice was submitted to Dundee City Council in December, signifying the formal notice of intent to submit a planning application following a minimum 12-week consultation period.

Two consultations will be held for the project – on 18 January 2023 and 15 February – from 4-8pm at Hampton Hilton, Dundee. For those unable to attend  a project website will launch on 18 January with copies of the exhibition boards at http://60brownstreet.co.uk.

Mark Beaton, director of Cullross Ltd, said, “We are keen to meet with the community to discuss our early-stage plans for the site and receive feedback on how the community would like them to be developed.

“The proposals are high-level with a view to speaking to the community and getting their feedback before progressing to a second event in February where more detail will be presented.

“We have completed a number of developments in the city and are well aware of the housing needs, and we believe the site’s positioning and surrounding uses make it an ideal location for a residential development.

“As a company, Cullross are always keen for form a strong collaboration with the community. We hope as many residents as possible and businesses and neighbours attend the first information session to hear our initial ideas, and input their thoughts ahead of a second event in February.

“For those unable to attend we have a dedicated project website equipped with a feedback form and online copies of exhibition boards. We invite the community to attend and look forward to hearing their views.”
