Residents to have say on plans for 90-home expansion of Angus village

Residents will get the chance to have their say on plans to build about 90 homes and a farm shop in an expansion of an Angus village.

Muir Homes wants to build on fields just off Newtyle Road, to the north-west of Muirhead.

A proposal of application notice – the first stage in the planning process for major developments – has been approved by Angus Council.

Two online meetings are now set to be held on May 25, from 1pm to 2pm and 6pm to 7pm, where locals can find out more and air their views.

A website for those events will go live on the day.

An in-person meeting with Muirhead, Birkhill and Liff Community Council will also be held in June, but a date has not been announced yet.

The homes could be built on fields.

Paul McKay, managing director at Muir Homes, said: “Our proposal of application notice for land off Newtyle Road allows us to begin the important process of community engagement in order to discuss our development proposals with the community.

“We are fully committed to a detailed programme to engage with local people. We are keen to get the views and opinions from as many stakeholders as we can.

We will work with the local community council and the landowner to discuss the potential community benefits.”

“We will work with the local community council and the landowner to discuss the potential community benefits new housing will bring.

“We would encourage the local community to attend both the virtual and in-person events.

“Their views will inform the emerging development proposal in order to make a detailed planning application in the autumn.”
