PLANS have been approved for 131 new affordable homes along Main Street in Dundee.
Springfield Partnerships has been given the green light to deliver the properties to transform the former brownfield site with one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments and houses.
Springfield said the homes will be built with ‘high quality’ insulation and ‘innovative’ heating technology that doesn’t require gas, reducing the impact on the environment and helping to keep running costs low.
The properties have been designed around a communal area in the centre of the development with open green space and soft landscaping. A number of the homes have been designed specifically for wheelchair users and many of the flats will also benefit from balconies offering private outdoor access.
As part of the designs, there are retail spaces incorporated along the street level to create business opportunities.
Tom Leggeat, MD of Springfield Partnerships, said, “We are really pleased our plans to bring high quality, affordable homes to the area have been approved by Dundee City Council whilst transforming a neglected pocket of land in the city. With planning now in place, we expect to start work on the delivery of these homes in the coming months.”
