ANGUS LOCAL PLAN REVIEW FINALISED PLAN - Angus Council

FRIOCKHEIM1. As one of the larger villages within Angus, Friockheim is animportant service centre providing a range of local services andemployment. Being geographically central in Angus the village alsohas a commuter role with many residents living in the village andworking in other larger employment centres. Although small-scaleinfill and renewal projects have come forward within the village, recentnew housing development has focused mostly at the eastern end ofFriockheim.KEY ISSUES/DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY2. The housing land allocations in the first Angus Local Plan havebeen largely developed. Only the site at Guthrie Street remains, andplanning permission for nine houses was granted in September 2003.There is a limit on the level of new development which can comeforward due to capacity constraints at the Friockheim wastewatertreatment plant (WWTP). This Local Plan allows for further housingdevelopment of a scale that can be serviced and in a location inkeeping with the character of the village, which will assist in meetinghousing requirements to 2011 and supporting local services inFriockheim.PROFILERole:A large village with a goodrange of facilities serving awide rural area.Population:Census 2001 – 820;1991 - 896% change 91/01 : -8.5.Housing Land Supply June2004:existing - 13Drainage:constrainedWater Supply:availableHOUSING3.
