The residential development, between Forbes Street and Abercromby Drive, will be made up of one, two, three and four-bed flats.

It is the first stage of a larger project, with a second application to follow at a later date. That could consist of another 40 apartments, running along Orr Street.

The site - next to St Mary’s RC church - is currently unused and overgrown grassland.

The developers have made a number of amendments to the plans following a meeting with the local community council back in 2018.

This section of the larger development will see two buildings constructed - one with 24 apartments and the other with 16 apartments.
