I have uploaded the plan for the Newlands Drive housing development. It also shows the Phase 3 site marked by a Blue border, please note that at this time no funding has been secured for this though the council have submitted an application to the Scottish Government. Building works are due to start by October 2010; however the outcome of the phase 3 bid will not be known until around mid July 2010. It looks like in total 26 homes will be built on the site (subject to a successful phase 3 bid) otherwise 16 have already been approved, subject to planning permission. I am wondering if time constraints allow scope for the outcome of the phase 3 bid to be known prior to the planning meeting or, will there be two planning applications? I am also concerned that no Environmental or transport impact statement has been sought in respect of this development. NO doubt EAC will argue that the development by its size does not require these, however the adjacent recreational ground does increase traffic within the area therefore road safety issues for the tenants children are in my view a material concern.
