Land In Abernethy With Development Potential
A keen sense of community exists in this picturesque village. An ideal commuter village with transport links to Perth, Dundee. Edinburgh and Stirling within easy reach. The site is ideally located within a short walk from a fantastic local primary school, village shop, cafe, hairdresser and numerous nature trails. Abernethy also has a garden centre, Jamesfield, which also has a farm shop with restaurant, soft play and gym. Just a short drive from Bridge of Earn and ten minutes from the City of Perth, this location is also near several excellent independent schools. Powrie Park and Pavilions located to the north of the village provide opportunities for sport, recreation and outdoor activities.
There is an excellent, existing footpath and road network through Abernethy. All key services and amenities locally (including the primary school) can be accessed easily by the existing Core Path Network. Bus stops can be found directly outside the new development immediately to the west of this site on Newburgh Road (both north and south) with additional services available at stops further west on Newburgh Road.
Description
The site extends to approximately 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) and has a south facing aspect, generally sloping gently to the north-west, with the southern boundary bordering the A913 sitting some 6.0m higher than the northern boundary. It is presently in grass and is located directly of the Newburgh Road, connecting Abernethy to Newburgh. There is a modern development of affordable and private housing to the south east of the subjects. The field has been used for agricultural purposes for many years.
The site is not currently within the settlement boundary of Abernethy and is therefore not currently allocated in the Perth Local Development Plan. However the site is currently being put forward to the planning department as part of the Call for Sites process. This is a greenfield site but is not allocated under any protective environmental, historic or landscape designations. Notably, the settlement boundary on the south side of the Newburgh Road extends further eastwards and development of the subject site might be considered in the context
of finishing off the settlement form.
The site extends to approximately 1.7 hectares, and is located to the northeastern edge of the village. It comprises agricultural land and borders the settlement boundary as designated within the current Local Development Plan (ldp). The northern boundary runs parallel with the railway line, albeit at a lower level topographically and separated by a landscaped buffer. The western edge adjoins the Sandilands Grove development and the dwelling known as Fairybottom Cottage. The eastern boundary immediately adjoins the private farm access road leading north from Newburgh Road. The southern boundary runs parallel with the A913 Newburgh Road, from which access to the site would be provided. There is existing residential development on the opposite side of Newburgh Road, which also extends as far as the eastern boundary of the subject site.
*The site may be able to accommodate up to approximately 43 units. The proposed density of 27 units per hectare is comparable with the neighbouring development at Sandilands Grove in Abernethy (17/02190/fll). The current site is considered to represent a deliverable and logical extension to that development, which can make an effective contribution to the council’s Local Housing Land Requirement (lhlr) and delivery of the Minimum All Tenure Housing Land Requirement (mathlr) as set out in NPF4.
According to figures quoted in the Scottish Government production ‘School Estate Statistics’ (September 2023) Abernethy Primary has a planning capacity of 283 pupils with current roll of 116 pupils, equating to 41% capacity.
