The council refused planning permission in August, citing concerns over a lack of public transport links. Kirkwood, however, insists the development includes a planned bus service to Dundee city centre, funded for three years in partnership with Stagecoach.

The developer claims the council’s decision was based on “misinformation” and highlights the site’s proximity to local amenities, The Courier reports.

This appeal follows another lodged by Kirkwood last week to avoid contributing towards a new school, arguing that nearby Forthill Primary School has sufficient capacity.
