Latest plans submitted to Perth and Kinross Council

BIRNAM businessman James Dalgleish is hoping to redevelop his Birnam Autopoint site into a mix of residential and commercial development.

Plans submitted to Perth and Kinross Council detail construction of 15 private and five affordable flats on three and four storeys plus the re-development of the four-wheel drive sales centre.

Provision is also made for 30 parking spaces for the flats plus six to eight spaces for the 4x4 business.

Documents supporting the planning application include a tree survey, flood risk assessment, and design statement.

A planning application submitted by the now-defunct Langvale Homes to develop the same site was refused in 2008.

THE sight of scaffolding erected at the crumbling St Paul’s Church in Perth’s city centre has generated optimism that the long-running saga of this blot on the townscape could be coming to a satisfactory conclusion.

And this area could be further enhanced if a proposal by a St Paul’s Square businesswoman to alter the property to create a tearoom and secondhand shop attracts the support of the planning authority.

The planning application for the corner site at 1-2 St Paul’s Square has been submitted by Mrs Angela Livingstone.

The scaffolding at St Paul’s Church was erected earlier this month by the owners of the crumbling B-Listed building for a survey to be carried out ahead of applications being submitted to the council for planning and listed building consents.

Edinburgh restaurateur Islam Mohammed has intimidated his intention to convert the building into a branch of his Khushi’s chain.

PERTH-based company Thermafloor PF seek ‘in principle’ planning consent to form a mixed use industrial area and erect a house on just over one hectare of farmland on the southern edge of Coupar Angus.
