The £4.9 million project will provide modern accessible homes for social rent, including:-

16 x 1 bed flats
2 x 3 bed semi-detached houses
1 x 4 bed cottage
1 x 3 bed cottage

The new homes have been designed with high levels of insulation to keep tenants warm and comfortable while reducing energy demand.

This aligns with Angus Council’s commitment to providing affordable housing to ensure that all residents have access to secure, energy efficient and sustainable homes suitable now and in the future.

The site was visited this week by Angus Council housing service team led by housing and social work director Kirsty Lee, and housing service leader Catherine Johnson.

Housing convener Councillor Jill Scott said that, on completion, the development will help with the county’s housing shortfall as well as address the specific needs of council tenants..

She said: “The Fraser Path site will become a high-quality development of flats and cottages, including sought-after one-bedroom homes and will support better outcomes for tenants while responding to current housing challenges.”.

The project is scheduled to be completed in November 2027.
