Perth and Kinross Council has said it will not relax a rule restricting the ages of people allowed to live in a retirement complex in Scone now it is being passed to a new owner.
The local authority made the statement in response to concerns the 51 flats built on the site of the old Wheel Inn could potentially be rented to people younger than they were originally designed for now they are set to come under the control of a housing association.
Edinburgh-registered company Juniper Residential was granted planning permission by a council committee to demolish the former public house and restaurant and build the new apartments back in March 2019 under the proviso they would only ever be occupied by people aged 55 or over.
