A city centre lane in need of investment is to be transformed by 30 new flats after plans were approved by Dundee City Council.
The proposals for Candle Lane, off the Seagate, will see the existing car parks replaced with a new six-storey flatted building.
The flats will be two bedroom and are being created by John Frullani Architect.
The lane is particularly narrow at the top and the development site is a strip of ground currently used as car parking space.
The site is within a conservation area to the west of the B listed former sailors’ home and chapel, an impressive five- storey building dating from 1881.
The building is used as commercial and accommodation premises, however the former chapel is now derelict.
The 30 new flats will be served by 30 car parking spaces to be shared with 12 existing flats within the Seaman Mission.
There will also be a charging station for electric vehicles.
There will be a communal garden to the rear of the building and all the upper floor flats will have balconies.
Six letters of objection from nearby properties were received by the council, however none of the objectors turned up to speak when the application was considered.
Councillors voted unanimously to give the plans the green light.
