CARDENDEN residents are being asked to comment on a proposed residential development in the village.

Land and property agency, Strutt & Parker, is working with housebuilder Lochay Homes and architect, Roy Mitchell, on preparing a planning application for new homes at Cardenden Road West. Fife Council has already allocated the site for new housing. And they are extending the deadline for views on the plans.

The application, which is in its early stages, will include a range of two, three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses, including affordable housing.

The site has been allocated for up to 110 homes but, due to constraints identified during the design process, the developers are likely to deliver in the region of 50 to 60 new homes.

A public exhibition was held in Cardenden last week, where the plans received positive feedback from the local community. However, due to an advertising error in the exhibition venue address, Strutt & Parker has extended the consultation for another week – from July 11 to July 18 – to allow as many people as possible to contribute.

Tara Cowley, associate director in Strutt & Parker’s planning department in Perth, said: “At this point in the pre-application and site design process we are asking the community for views on how the site should be developed and what it should deliver in terms of house size, type and open space. "There will of course be an opportunity to formally comment when the planning application is submitted later this year."

Tara added: “We were delighted by the positive feedback at the community meeting.

"However, we are conscious that some residents may have missed the event and as a result we are extending our consultation process. We urge the local community to take part and hope this will enable all those who would like to comment to do so.”

All exhibition material is available to view on Cardenden Community Council’s Facebook page and copies can be requested from Strutt & Parker. Comments and feedback can be provided up until July 18 by email to perth@struttandparker.com or by post to Strutt & Parker (ref CDD004), Strutt & Parker, 5 St John Street, Perth. PH1 5SP.
