Congregation lodges plan for new hall and houses

A Dundee congregation is pushing ahead with its efforts to build a new £600,000 church hall. Plans for demolition of the existing building, which dates to the 19th century, and the erection of a new one at Barnhill St Margaret’s in Invermark Terrace have been lodged with Dundee City Council.

To help meet the cost the congregation is also seeking approval for a development of three four-bedroom houses within the church grounds, with access from Abercromby Street.

St Margaret’s minister the Reverend Fraser Stewart said the plans, which have to be rubber-stamped by the Church of Scotland general trustees, would allow St Margaret’s to provide 21st century facilities.
