Construction Trends in Angus
Angus's Local Development Plan identifies potential for more than 4,600 new homes across the region, with Arbroath and Montrose the two main focus towns. In Arbroath, a 6 million pound housing development is planned for Newton Crescent, 35 affordable homes are being built on the former St Thomas RC Primary School site, and 20 modern energy-efficient council homes are progressing at Fraser Path. In Montrose, Wirren Gardens is delivering the town's first new council houses in 30 years, while a major industrial development is planned at Montrose Port to serve the offshore wind supply chain. Away from these schemes, Forfar and Brechin keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions on established housing.
