Plans for 32 affordable homes have been submitted to Dundee City Council on behalf of Home Group.Developer Cruden Homes hopes to build the properties on the site of the former Longhaugh Neighbourhood Centre at Pitkerro Road.The 1.2 hectare site, behind the recently re-erected Iceland store, has lain empty since the community centre was demolished on the site in 2011.A design brief by Hackland+Dore Architects stated: “The housing mix has been determined by Home Group to satisfy housing needs in the area and includes a mix of larger family semi-detached housing with smaller terraced accommodation and two storey cottage flats, including three wheelchair units.“The site is on a prominent route into the city and close to public transport.“It benefits from excellent local amenities including shopping, which will reduce the reliance of residents on private cars.”
