Originally a small fishing village, Monifieth has grownsubstantially as a residential centre mainly catering for the needs ofthe wider Housing Market Area. There is a range of local retail,commercial and community facilities available and the town has easyaccess to recent commercial and recreational facilities on the A92 tothe north.2. The coastal setting provides Monifieth with much of its character.The important beachfront area has recently been the subject of amajor environmental improvement scheme to provide upgraded playfacilities, parking and sports pitches which along with its renown forlinks golf has added to the town’s attractions for residents and visitors.3. The Dundee and Angus Structure Plan specifies that Monifiethshould contribute to meeting the housing allowances for the widerHousing Market Area.
