Month: March 2024

Dundee Civic Trust has considered the planning application in principle (24/00096/PPPM) for construction of a new football stadium and other works at Camperdown.

We recommend the application be refused in that the proposals are unacceptable, particularly in context of the following points:

• the planning requirements of the national planning framework (NPF4) and the local development plan (LDP2);
• traffic safety and congestion;
• the unsuitable siting of the hotel, crematorium and residential development;
• the unambitious plans for renewable and sustainable energy;
• the use of part of Camperdown Park.

You can read our detailed response here.

Dundee Civic Trust has a deep interest in the development of convivial 20 minute neighbourhoods in our city – but what do these places really look like and how do they work? What are the opportunities and barriers involved?  Come and find out at the V&A on Friday 19 April 2024. This event has been organised by Dr Husam AlWaer from the University of Dundee and the Urban Design Group.
