Developer lodges plans for 300 new Carnoustie homes

If approved, the development will see a mix of affordable, private and retirement homes built on farmland west of Carlogie Road.

Previously, a developer put forward plans to build 50 more houses in the same location, though concerns were raised about overcrowding in the town and increased pressure on its infrastructure.

The plans were submitted by Angus Estates Ltd and Muir Homes Ltd, who propose to create access, infrastructure, open space and paths alongside the homes, with vehicular access through Carlogie Road.

The land is currently used for growing cereal crops and cultivation of turf.

A planning statement submitted by the applicants explained: “Tenure selection has been informed by an assessment of the local housing market and public consultation and has led to the identification of demand across a number of sectors covering retirement, self-build, affordable and main stream market.”
