DEVELOPERS have submitted updated proposals for a £100 million golf resort, hotel and spa to be built in Angus.
The resort, to be named The Angus, would be built across 300 acres of land on the Shank of Omachie, close to Broughty Ferry. Developer Mike Forbes have already been granted planning permission in principle.
If the redesign proposals are given the green light by Angus Council, work on the resort could begin next summer.
According to the planning application The Angus would have 17 guest rooms, a sky bar, a 1900sq metre spa and leisure facility, and be the base for a Darren Clarke golf course, clubhouse (rendering below) and golfing academy. There are also proposals for 160 houses and 10 luxury lodges.
Forbes said The Angus would “surpass anything on offer” in Scotland at the moment.
“With a five-star hotel and spa offering, as well as the first signature golf course from legendary Ryder Cup winner and former Open champion Darren Clarke, The Angus will create jobs and opportunities, generating significant income and boosting Dundee and Angus as a world-class tourism and leisure destination,” he said.
VisitScotland regional leadership director Caroline Warburton said The Angus is “exciting” for the area.
“A five-star hotel is a fantastic addition to the area’s strengthening tourism portfolio – putting it on the map not only in Scotland but internationally,” she said.
“Tourism is an increasingly important part of the Dundee and Angus economies, creating both economic and social value. We look forward to working with the team as the development continues.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
