Members of the public are being urged to have their say on plans for 40 new homes in Fife.

Muir Homes is behind the development at a vacant plot of land at Fulmar Way, close to Asda, in Dalgety Bay.

The family-run Fife housebuilder is seeking local community views on how the derelict land could be developed for housing.

The consultation includes details posted to residents and businesses in the area adjacent to the site.

It encourages residents to send feedback and ideas on the plans by email, telephone or online via the specially created consultation page on its website.

The deadline for comment is November 7.

As part of the consultation process, Muir Homes has also sent details to the local Dalgety Bay and Hillend Community Council.

Proposals for houses in Dalgety Bay

Muir Homes is aiming to provide housing that meets an established housing need in the local area.

About a quarter of the development will be for affordable housing.

The proposals include improvements to the open space adjacent to an existing play area.

There are also plans for a new footpath through the development to the shops and transport options.

The housebuilder will also incorporate a landscaped barrier to reduce any potential noise from the traffic or neighbouring businesses.

It is expected that plans will be submitted to Fife Council later this year.

Public urged to give their views

Muir Homes’ land and planning manager Nicola McCowan Hill said: “We want residents’ views to help shape the proposals for this important development on an allocated housing site.”

And she urged the local community to put forward its views.

Ms McCowan Hill added: “We want to build quality homes and help add to the thriving community at Dalgety Bay.

“We will consider the feedback and comments received during this period before any future planning application is submitted.”
