Site Considerations
The site consists of a field, immediately adjacent to the existing settlement edge of Kinross and the M90. Currently, access into the site is via a public narrow access road to the south of the site and from a farm track to the north.
A strip of woodland runs along the south western site boundary and around the adjacent Davies Park. This land is not part of the Miller Homes site, it will not be developed and will be appropriately protected both during and after development. Along the western boundary there is a strip of trees and vegetation that separate the site from the M90. A Noise Impact Assessment will be undertaken to determine whether any noise mitigation measures are required along this boundary.
The site is relatively level, with a high point to the south and a low point to the north. The site gently slopes down to the public path along the eastern boundary.
Where the site adjoins the built up area of Kinross, to the east, the boundary largely consists of rear garden boundary fences that run along the public path. There are many access points from this public path into the residential area. The northern boundary is defined by field boundary fencing with smaller fields that are connected to a farm house.
The land to the south of the site consists of a small area of woodland, Davies Park, including an equipped play park and a playing field. This park is accessed from Springfield Road which leads into the town centre. Utilisation of the existing road could support access into the wider site.
