What's on this site?
This website provides information about things that are happening now which will shape the future of our area. This includes Perth & Kinross Council (PKC) strategic planning activity, which decides where (and how many) new houses will be built. Soon the site will also include information about WALC (Walk Around the Lovely Crook), which promotes local footpaths.
New Development Plan
New Development Plan - Extra Houses Planned for Fossoway
A new single Local Development Plan is currently being prepared for Perth & Kinross, which will eventually replace all existing Local Plans within the PKC area. This Local Development Plan will decide where to build the additional houses required by the revised Structure Plan.
PKC has prepared a Development Plan Scheme, which sets out the programme for finalising the Local Development Plan.
Sites in Fossoway have been proposed for housing during the life of the new development plan, including the Monarch Deer Park on Naemoor Road that was recently the subject of a refused planning application for 80 new houses and subsequent unsuccessful appeal by G S Brown Construction.
12,000 extra houses
New Structure Plan - Extra 12,000 Houses to be Built
Perth & Kinross Council are planning to build an additional 12,000 houses between now and 2020, of which 460 are earmarked for the Kinross Area. This became official when the Structure Plan Alteration, which sought a significant increase in the number of new houses to be built, was approved by the Council meeting of 24 June 2009.
The alteration was to be submitted to Scottish Ministers for final sign off towards the end of July, following which members of the public would have the opportunity to send any objections to Scottish Ministers. The sign off process has not yet been completed.
