Cruden Homes (West) Ltd will collaborate with architects ISA to bring forward new properties for private sale on the corner of Burgh Hall Street and Peel Street. The development would be car-free, with 59 bike parking spaces provided for residents and visitors.

A warehouse would be demolished to make way for the building.

Private front gardens will be provided on Burgh Hall Street with rear gardens for ground floor flats and a communal space, with seating, a BBQ area and growing space, which would be open to all residents.

Planning officials had recommended that the application be approved.

Their report stated: “The massing of four storeys, with a fifth storey set back from the building line, respects the height and massing of the surrounding tenements.”

A motion to approve the plans subject to conditions was proposed as was an amendment to continue the application to find out more about the adequacy of lighting to the allotment area.

The motion was granted by nine votes to five.
