The application has earmarked vacant land between Clepington Road in the north and Kingspark School to the south for the development.

The site has historically been used for agricultural and limited residential use and most recently as playing fields for St John’s RC High School.

If the plan is approved, a mix of two and three-bedroom semi-detached houses and two-bedroom flats will be delivered.

In a supporting statement submitted with the application by Wellwood Leslie Architects, the development is described as a “high-quality residential community” that will “regenerate a dormant site in a premium location”.

The developers hope it will cater to a “diverse range of residents including young professionals, families and seniors, promoting a vibrant and inclusive community”.

Each home will have two parking spaces and an additional six visitor spaces will be included at the site, with two being suitable for the charging of electric vehicles.

Pedestrians can access the site from Clepington Road, with further pedestrian access points also formed into the Miley Nature Reserve walkway to the west.

The supporting statement added: “The nearest bus stops are around 200m from the middle of the site, on Clepington Road, with regular bus services to and from the city centre.

“The site benefits from immediate walking distance to a variety of retail options in the nearby Kingsway West Retail Park.

“Camperdown Country Park and Balgay Park are also within reasonable walking distance.”
