Dozens of homes are to be built on the site of a former Dundee primary school.
Forty two properties will be created on land formerly used by Mid Craigie Primary School, which closed in 2009.
Work on the project, operated by Angus Housing Association and Cruden Homes, will begin in September after Dundee City Council granted planning permission earlier this week.
Various house types will be built as part of the project, over a 1.43 hectare area.
According to documents submitted to Dundee City Council, the project will provide a total of 42 new houses which will comprise 12 houses for sale
through Cruden Homes and a mix of 30 houses and cottage flats for the affordable rental sector, managed by Angus Housing Association.
Several of the properties will be designated to families with specific needs.
Cruden Homes’ land and development director, Fraser Lynes, said: “Cruden Homes are delighted to secure planning permission for this exciting mixed tenure development in a region where we are looking to grow.
“Working with our partners, Angus Housing Association, we believe our proposals meet the requirements of a large demographi, and importantly supply much needed homes on disused Council land.
“We would like to thank Dundee City Council and hope to work with them again in the near future.”
Angus Housing Association director Bruce Forbes said: “The last time I was aware we were planning to be on site in September.
“We’re really pleased that it has got to this stage.
“It’s taken a while because of issues regarding the condition of the site. There was a lot of work being done in terms of decontamination.
“All of our houses are built for housing for various needs. They all have to be wheelchair accessible.
“Hopefully we’ll be on site soon.”
