Detailed plans lodged for affordable homes at Dundee nightclub site
Plans to deliver affordable homes on the site of a former Dundee nightclub have been submitted for full planning.
Cullross Ltd is seeking to demolish the former Oxygen nightclub on Brown Street to make way for 63 affordable flats. Four workshops are also proposed on the ground floor.
If approved, the properties will be managed by Hillcrest and be a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom flats.
The application also details how the development will be “car-free”, with no plans for car parking provision.
Instead, indoor storage for bikes will be provided on the ground floor in accordance with the number of flats proposed.
A rooftop terrace and a large courtyard to the rear of the development is also included in the application.
Two public consultations were held on the plans in January and February last year.
In a post to LinkedIn, Cullross said: “Following feedback from the community consultation and planning, a number of the key decorative elements of the existing building will be salvaged and incorporated into the new building in a meaningful way.
“The proposed new building is of high-quality contemporary design, but draws inspiration from its historic industrial context in terms of form, massing, materials and palette. The building will preserve the characteristic enclosure of the street and maintain the grid plan.
“The entire project team have worked carefully through the feedback received from the consultation process to develop the scheme, and we look forward to engaging with the Dundee Planning Team through the planning determination period to hopefully achieve a successful outcome to allow our continued delivery of further affordable housing in Dundee.
The design team includes jmarchitects, Goodson Associates, IAS Landscape Management & Design Ltd, Hulley and Kirkwood and Scott Hobbs Planning Limited.
