Dundee City Council is set to decide next week on a planning application by Barratt Homes to build 233 new homes in the city.
The brownfield land - which was once the site of the former Keiller Marmalade production plant - has been recommended for conditional approval.
Accessible via two roads directly off Mains Loan and situated just 10 minutes from the city centre, the proposed development site is around 15.7 acres in size.
