Kinross Western Edge Development Brief
What site does the brief cover?
The Kinross Western Edge is a substantial development
opportunity of some 12.5 hectares in a strategic location beside
Junction 6 of the M90.
The Western Edge is a key gateway site to Kinross and development
will regenerate partially derelict land. A significant
feature of the development site will be the delivery of a Southern
Relief Road from Station Road to Bridgend which will allow vehicles
to by-pass the town centre.
What does the Local Plan say about development in this
area?
The adopted Kinross Area Local Plan 2004 identifies the
Western Edge area as a key mixed use development site which will
contribute towards housing and business land supply. It
supports the integrated development of two housing sites - OP1 -
Station Road (maximum 50 units) and OP2 - Clashburn (24 units),
together with development of industrial and business land (I2) to
provide local employment and increase the self sufficiency of
Kinross.
The Local Plan contains a proposal with regards to investigation of
a park and ride facility within the site.
When will the brief be used?
The purpose of this development guidance is to identify the
relevant issues applicable to the development of the site and
to set out a land use and development framework for an
urban extension to Kinross as a basis for preparation of more
detailed proposals. It does not seek to prescribe design
standards but to set out development objectives and apply layout
principles appropriate to the site.
What if the proposal does not accord with the brief?
Developers whose proposals do not accord with the guidance set
out in the brief must be prepared to demonstrate that they will
achieve a better design solution more in keeping with the character
of the area.
