Plans lodged for innovative community ‘green’ at Inverkeithing
April 6 2017
The homes will be delivered in partnership with landscape architects Rankin Fraser in order to integrate the homes with public and private grounds to create a safe and comfortable family friendly environment.
In a statement 7N wrote: “The proposals will bring much needed quality family housing to the area and will create a new gathering and play space for the community at a highpoint with elevated views over the Firth of Forth. The pitched roof forms and modulated dormers are a response to the surrounding existing built fabric as well as to the sloping topography of the site to harness the extraordinary easterly views.”
7N are also delivering a separate regeneration package for Inverkeithing's Fraser Avenue.
Work should get underway on the project by the autumn.

Why anyone would build 'family housing' that close to a motorway, of which, is extremely busy with heavy industrial traffic is beyond me.

A terrace! A real actual terrace! Not a jumble of detached homes thrown around randomly with blank walls and dead ends everywhere.
I like it.
I like it.

I'm all for breaking down the monotony of pavement-road-pavement but have you ever driven round a shared surface residential scheme? No-one has a clue what to do? Ah ... this must the road bit ... Nope that's the neighbors herb garden .... Sorry !

D to the R - That's the whole idea of shared surfaces. Makes you slow down and think rather than charge rtound at 30mph. Streets for everyone - not just cars!
