McCarthy & Stone planning new retirement complex in Dundee

Plans for a new 43-home retirement development at an old Scottish Water depot have been submitted to Dundee City Council.

The site, at the junction of Pitkerro Road and Stobsmuir Road, has become surplus to requirements and is being sold in two plots.

McCarthy & Stone’s proposal is to redevelop one of the plots into a sheltered retirement housing complex with 43 one and two-bedroom apartments designed for people over 60.

More than 70 people attended a consultation on the proposed development.

Steve Wiseman, managing director of McCarthy & Stone in Scotland, said the plans would make “good use” of the site and be of “benefit” to the community.

The application will be considered by the council later this year.
