Housing development in Coupar Angus dismissed by PKC committee
A planned housing development in Coupar Angus was dismissed by councillors yesterday. Members of the development control committee were concerned about the proposed transformation of an historic tannery yard in the town. Despite the planning department's confidence, committee members raised questions about the layout of the 19 house estate, as well as traffic issues. The tannery itself was first operated in the 19th century, but has been described as having no particular visual or architectural merit.
