Residents had voiced concerns about the number of properties and a heightened risk of flooding from construction.

The housebuilder is now seeking permission to build 152 homes at the site on Dunkeld Road, instead of the originally intended 171.

These properties would range from two to five-bedrooms in size.

Changes have also been made to the site layout to increase spacing between new and existing homes, while landscaped corridors on the site’s boundaries have been extended.

Areas of open public space remain a feature of the proposals, while detailed flood risk assessment and drainage safety reports have been submitted.

The Dunkeld Road site has already received planning permission in principle.

“We’ve listened carefully to feedback from local residents and incorporated it into our new proposals, which reduce the total number of homes on the development.

"We’re also aware that concerns have been raised about flooding in the area and our proposals include detailed plans for a drainage system that would increase the area’s flood resilience,” said Robert Patrick, land director at Persimmon North Scotland.

“As well as creating much-needed, affordable routes to home ownership for local families, the development would generate a significant investment to support the community, and we look forward to continuing to work with local residents as we take the proposals forward.”
