Site Context
The site is located to the western edge of Kinross, within the Perth and Kinross Council boundary. Milnathort is located to the north east and Balado to the south west of the site.
The site is well located for active and sustainable transport links, including a number of bus stops within 400m walking distance, the nearest on Morlich Place to the east of the site. A park and ride service is also within 800m walking distance, less than a 10 minute walk from the centre of the site to the south. Adjacent bus stops to the site are served by frequent services to Edinburgh, Glenrothes and Perth, providing easy onward routes. A Core Path runs along the eastern site boundary, providing excellent pedestrian links to the wider path network.
The site is accessed from Springfield Road, connecting to the A922 Station Road to the south, which provides onward connections to the M90 travelling north and south.
