New homes set for former Dundee pub site

A former pub in Dundee is to be transformed into new homes after plans were approved by councillors.

The long-closed Jimmy Shand in Dickson Avenue, Menzieshill, will now be demolished to make way for six townhouse properties.

Previous attempts to turn the site into a supermarket had failed after the closure of the establishment in 2011.

The most recent application was submitted by MCD Construction Consultancy on behalf of Neil Findlay and Punch Taverns.

Mr Findlay has sought permission to build housing on the site several times in the past without success.

The previous application for a block of 12 two-bedroom apartments was submitted in December, but was withdrawn because there were too many properties.

The development will see six two-and-a-half storey properties built on the site.
