Kingdom Housing Association has been granted planning consent for a £5m development of 30 homes aiming for Passivhaus standard. The site is approximately eight miles from Dundee, 12 miles from St Andrews and near local amenities and the surrounding towns of Cupar. 

 

The development aims to provide community benefits through a range of employment and training opportunities that will be delivered through contract. The proposals will provide 30 new Passivhaus homes for social rent and consist of:

• 10 x two-bedroom amenity homes suitable for older people
• 20 x two and three-bedroom family homes.  

 

Key Stats No Units: 30 homes Location: Gauldry, Fife Start Date: Expected summer 2021 Completion: expected 2022 Contract: £5m

There is a very high need for affordable housing in the north Fife area and unfortunately, there is a shortage of sites to meet the needs. The project is intended to help meet both current and future housing needs in the area and to help to sustain local communities. Kingdom aims to provide high-quality housing to meet the local needs in the local area and the planning authority accepted the proposed development as being of acceptable size to meet the needs in the area.

Bill Banks, CEO, Kingdom Housing Association

 

Work is due to start on site in early summer 2021 with completion expected in 2022.  We look forward to seeing plans progress and encourage PHT members to be alert for any tender opportunities.
