MORE THAN 190 responses were submitted by the public to a house-builder during a consultation after it had announced proposals for a development in Finstall, writes Neil Gordon.
Persimmon Homes received the responses last month after announcing proposals for up to 240 new properties on green belt land at St Godwalds Road.
A spokesperson for the company said: “The consultation period ran from May 11 to 31 with circa 1,000 properties being notified.
“A total of 194 responses were received, consisting of 178 survey responses and 16 email responses.
“Due to the number of responses, it is not possible to respond in all cases.
“However, where further information has been requested, we will be following up with these responses.”
As well as the new homes, proposals for the site also include a landscaped led layout, extensive public open spaces, improved walking and cycling connections and ecological enhancements.
The spokesperson added: “The technical information which is submitted alongside the application, will seek to address any concerns raised on flooding or housing need.
“We are now in the process of consolidating the responses and factoring them into our proposals where possible.”
