Dundee City Council lodged a planning application to build its first social housing development for several years.Submitted to planning officers by the council’s own architects, the proposal outlines plans to build 35 homes on land at Murrayfield Place, Murrayfield Drive, Whitfield Avenue and Murrayfield Terrace.A number of the one- and two-storey homes would be adapted for tenants with disabilities as well as for those with additional needs.City architect Ray Low told the Evening Telegraph that the homes would be the first “in-house” developed homes from the local authority for “quite some time” as the local authority has tended to partner up with housing associations such as Hillcrest in order to build new social homes.The council has until March 15 to consider whether or not to approve the application.
