Ambitious plans for a major housing scheme on the edge of Perth will be unveiled to residents next week.
Developers Persimmon Homes are hoping to breathe new life into the city’s last vacant greenfield site off Crieff Road, next to McDiarmid Park.
The company’s plan for the 17-acre Newton Farm, which will include new homes and shops, will be revealed at a consultation event on Tuesday November 3.
Visitors will get the chance to view the proposals, chat with developers and suggest any changes.
Feedback from the session, which takes place from 2.30pm to 7pm at McDiarmid Park’s Campbell Suite, will be used to shape a future planning application.
Details on housing numbers and retail space have yet to be finalised.
Three years ago, the rural location was earmarked for a multimillion-pound super-market and filling station.
However, the developer behind the scheme withdrew its bid after rival chain Sainsbury’s won permission for an outlet at the old Perth Mart.
The site is included in separate council plans for a network of new roads linking the city with land at Inveralmond and Bertha Park.
The plans were approved by councillors in March, despite controversy over a proposed relief road through woods near Perth Crematorium.
Persimmon Homes is also working on a £16 million housing project, including nearly 100 properties, at nearby Cherrybank, off Glasgow Road.
A planning application for the Crieff Road plan is expected to be lodged with Perth and Kinross Council planning officers in the coming weeks.
