A TOTAL of 45 affordable homes could be build in Kincardine if a planning application is given the go ahead.

Developers James Methven are seeking permission for 37 affordable houses, eight affordable flats, access roads, footpaths and other landscaping infrastructure on land north to Toll Road in the village.

The site is currently a vacant field that is allocated for residential development within the Local Development Plan. 

“The proposals will create 45 new affordable homes in an area of the town already suited to this type of development,” a planning statement said.

“The site is close to local public transport networks and local amenities. The site will provide for a range of needs including ‘access for all’ housing.”

Developers continued: “The proposal directly responds to local community and Fife Council demand and if approved will provide much needed affordable family housing.” 

If approved, the development would feature 37 affordable houses ranging from two-bed terraced houses to four and five bed family homes and eight affordable flats.

“James Methven aspires to provide carefully designed and considered bespoke new affordable homes across Scotland,” added the report.

“They have a track record of completing a number of developments in the north east of Scotland and are looking to expand this success to Fife, Edinburgh and the central belt area.” 

Their recent developments include two sites in Aberdeen and a development on Fair Isle Road, Kirkcaldy.
