Former Jimmy Shand pub to make way for new housing

Plans to demolish a once-popular Dundee pub and build flats in its place have been submitted to the city council.

The Jimmy Shand in Dickson Avenue, Menzieshill, has been the subject of a number of planning applications since it closed in 2011.

The building has since fallen into disrepair and has become a target for vandals and fly-tippers.

Owner Neil Findlay, based in Burton-upon-Trent, has now applied for planning permission which includes “changes of use and surface mineral working”.

It comes after a building warrant for the demolition of the public house was approved in July.

The new plan submitted by MCD Construction Consultancy Ltd on behalf of Mr Findlay is seeking the “demolition of existing derelict public house building and construction of four three-bedroom houses and a block of 12 two-bedroom apartments.”

The reason behind the demolition, stated in the planning statement submitted by Punch Taverns plc, is that the pub has been closed for more than seven years and there has been no interest in it being reopened.

The application states that the entrance to the 2,159sqm site will remain the same, from Dickson Avenue, although it will be widened and improved.

Each townhouse will have three storeys and the apartments two.

The site has 20 car parking spaces and plans indicate an additional two spaces will be added, along with parking spaces for bikes.

There will also be space set aside for waste and recycling facilities.
