Councillors in Dundee are poised to approve 100 new homes on the edge of the city.
The local authority’s planning committee will meet on Monday to vote on plans to build the houses as part of the Linlathen Village development.
But there has been some opposition to the plans by Kirkwood Homes.
Dundee Civic Trust has objected, claiming any increase in housing would put pressure on services such as GPs, schools and leisure facilities.
The Trust also fear that people would be reliant on cars because of the area’s “isolation”, leading to increased pollution and congestion.
Nevertheless, city planners have recommended the development for approval.
A report by council planning officer Craig Swankie states: “The views of Dundee Civic Trust have been considered and are not of sufficient weight to justify refusal of the application.”
But more than 20 conditions have been suggested if the development is green lit. These include drainage systems getting the thumbs up from Scottish Water and a public art scheme be included in the plans.
The report notes that all developments in Dundee with construction costs of more than £1 million are required to allocate at least one percent of construction costs for art projects in a public place.
Mr Swankie’s report added: “The applicant considers an art project can be provided, however no proposals are made within the application.
“The provision of full details of public art provision within the development and its implementation will be required.”
A 20mph zone is also recommended for all proposed roads within the site. Details of traffic calming measures will also need to be disclosed.
The houses will all have between three and five bedrooms and will have its own parking space.
Most of the properties, 80, will also include an integrated garage.
Similar plans for 150 homes in the area were knocked back in 2016 and an appeal was dismissed.
A further application in April 2017 was also rejected.
A Kirkwood Homes spokeswoman said: “We look forward to receiving a positive decision at the meeting.”
Also on the agenda at tonight’s meeting, albeit simply for noting, is that the Scottish Government overturn restrictions on a plans to convert the historic Tay Rope Works into new homes and flats.
