Quarry House, Forgandenny, Perth, Perth and Kinross, PH2 9EX

• A unique opportunity to purchase a consented plot with an award-winning design
• A site combining privacy, architecture and landscape
• A modern home carefully integrated into its natural surroundings
• Detailed planning permission for a 5-bedroom contemporary home
• Situated in the quaint but highly desirable village of Forgandenny

A rare opportunity to purchase a consented plot and create an exceptional contemporary home within a private Perthshire landscape.

The plot extends to c. 2.05 acres and is set back and secluded from the main road. There is a private driveway to access the property from the B935 Forgandenny Road. The site is a former quarry, and the topography of the site was carefully considered in the development of the plans. The driveway goes up to a middle plateau, and then continues to rise to the area proposed for the house. The north and east of the site is bound by woodland, creating a natural boundary, the south and east of the site are bounded by agricultural land.

Context & Site Evolution

Significant investment has already been made in preparing

and engineering the site for development. Major quarry stabilisation and re-contouring works were completed in 2023, transforming the former quarry into a stable and practical development platform suitable for the approved dwelling.

Completed works include:

Quarry stabilisation and re-contouring

Controlled engineering fill operations

Formation of development platform

Private access installation

Landscape integration works

Planning and technical approvals

The site has undergone a sequence of planning consents

and re-contouring of quarry faces to stabilise and restore the

landscape. This process has progressively transformed the site

into a suitable, safe, and functional development platform.

Access and Permeability

The works have also established a practical and

safe vehicular access arrangement to serve the

proposed single dwelling.

Design Quality & Outcomes

The consolidated engineering solution, together with the approved planning consents, demonstrates that the site is now fit-for-purpose for a single housing plot. Through disciplined re-contouring, controlled filling to create a stable platform, and an

accessible layout for a single plot, the site achieves its development potential while delivering an exemplar, award-winning architectural response.

Engineering & Ground Works

Controlled fill operations have been implemented to infill the quarry and create a stable design platform insuring long-term site stability in line with current best practice.
