Muir Homes has submitted a revised planning application for a new housing development at Westfield Loan, to the western edge of Forfar.
The site is located south of Glamis Road and to the west of Westfield Loan. The 159-home scheme aims to contributes to the local council’s housing land audit and supports the development strategy in the Angus Local Development Plan.
A revised site-layout has been submitted to address previous comments from Angus Council.
The updated plans include a variety of house types, a new noise mitigation solution involving homes along the Glamis Road frontage, and new car parking provision.
The planning application, which also includes 39 flats and houses for affordable rent, was submitted to the council in December and Muir Homes hopes it will be determined at the next Development Standards Committee in March.
The revised design proposal for the new homes aims to complement the existing architecture in the area. The housing styles have differing roof lines and vary to include dormer windows and stepped roofs.
Pedestrian and cycle links through the development are also aimed at offering easy access to local amenities in Forfar.
Nicola McCowan Hill, land and planning manager at Muir Homes, said: “We have created a mix of homes with pedestrian access to schools, shops and open space.
“This area is in need of new homes of all price ranges, so the development offers a significant number of benefits to Forfar that not only deliver the housing needed in the development plan, but also create a high quality residential environment that supports sustainable outdoor living and protects the adjacent countryside.”
