12,000 extra houses

New Structure Plan - Extra 12,000 Houses to be Built

Perth & Kinross Council are planning to build an additional 12,000 houses between now and 2020, of which 460 are earmarked for the Kinross Area. This became official when the Structure Plan Alteration, which sought a significant increase in the number of new houses to be built, was approved by the Council meeting of 24 June 2009.

The alteration was to be submitted to Scottish Ministers for final sign off towards the end of July, following which members of the public would have the opportunity to send any objections to Scottish Ministers. The sign off process has not yet been completed.
