Affordable Housing Provision

Currently Policy TC3 requires 25% affordable housing. The exact provision to be confirmed by Angus Council, including housing for particular needs.

Design Intention, Connectivity and Landscape

Wider connectivity is provided by direct vehicular access to Arbirlot Road West with regular public transport links from the site to the town. The proposed pedestrian routes tun along landscape corridors and public open spaces with links to the new SUDS systems. There are smaller landscape interventions within the overall streetscape which are intended to help create a sense of place that is both welcoming and pleasant from within, but also provides a pleasant environment and streetscape for passers by.
Car parking is provided off street and in car parking courts screened from view. Shared road surface and regular traffic calming features will prioritise pedestrian use and contribute to safety.
Prominent frontages within the development are treated to act as key features and act as strong visual key points within the development. Terrace blocks have been located within the development to create variety and visual interest. End terraces also provide further opportunities to form additional points of interest.

Biodiversity

We will look at the biodiversity of the site and seek to achieve a Biodiversity Net gain of 20% in our developments, whereby measurable improvements in the natural environment are achieved. We seek to achieve this through a variety of measures, including provision of shelter, considered lighting, flowering mixes, landscaping connectivity.
