Controversial plans to introduce another takeaway in Fintry have been attacked by local residents.
The proposals would see a new outlet built on the grounds of the old police station next to the existing Coral bookmakers.
There has been an angry response from some locals, as it will be the sixth takeaway in the area.
The unit was at the centre of controversy in February when planning permission for a retail unit was refused after an objection from the community council over traffic and parking issues.
Plans for the building, on the corner of Finlarig Terrace and Fintry Road, were then reinstated on appeal to the Scottish Government.
The area has remained empty since the appeal and a new planning application was filed with Dundee City Council last week.
Ronald Neave, chairman of Fintry Community Council, has expressed his anger, having being part of the group which caused planning permission to initially be denied.
He said: “I think it’s the case that a lot of people in Fintry will not accept another takeaway being built.
“It’s not just that Fintry doesn’t need another takeaway, it’s the effect that it will have on people in that area.
“It’s going to cause extra traffic, which we have already had trouble with outside Coral. It will increase litter and there will be more people hanging around there late at night.
“I’ve had a couple of people who live across the road contacting me so far and we plan to put an appeal forward.”
However, Adam Hutcheson, who represents Landtec Services, who submitted the application, has issued a statement defending the changes.
He said: “My client’s operator strongly opposes the views expressed by Ronald Neave, who seems to wish to limit the opportunity for, and diversity of, food provision being delivered to the people of Fintry.
“It is clear that a new outlet will provide jobs not only to local construction, consultation and fabrication businesses but that it will also provide full and part-time employment, most likely to residents of Fintry, once the business is operating and established.”
He said work should be completed within the next year if permission is given.
“My client’s operator hopes that the proposed outlet will be embraced by the people of Fintry, who can look forward to the opportunity to enjoy a wider culinary experience,” he added.
