A HOUSEBUILDER proposing to build about 150 new homes at Cairneyhill in Fife is launching a digital community consultation to provide people with more information on the emerging proposals.
A proposal of application notice was submitted by Avant Homes to Fife Council in August 2020. This highlighted the intent of the developer to lodge a planning application for the development of the site.
Avant Homes said the public will “have the chance to view and shape the details” of the “exciting new residential development".
It proposes to build about 150 new homes ranging from three to five-bedroom houses, including family and affordable housing. These plans will form phase two of its residential development at Pitdinnie Road.
Avant Homes said: "With the temporary suspension of public events for major planning applications by the Scottish Government due to Covid-19, community consultations have moved online with the creation of a dedicated website presenting development proposals in detail."
It added that the website would go live at 9am on November 19, and a digital consultation event would take place between 3.30pm and 6.30pm on that day.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
