Proposed view from Strathkinness High Road with woodland and landscape screening to frame views of historic skylines.  Pink lines illustrate the outline of the historic skyline (background).  White lines illustrate the outline of the proposed development (middleground).  Blue lines illustrate the outline of the existing foreground.





Section through St Andrews showing how the new development will not block views of the historic core from Strathkinness High Road

We have developed our vision to create new views of the historic core and keep new development below the skyline. We will manage the visual impact of new development at the edge through planting and other screening.

In addition to the computer generated views we have used forklift vehicles to test the heights of buildings on the plan.  These are shown below:

View from S1 towards forklifts 21A and B

NB The forklifts in this image were set at 12m (or 3 to 4 storey buildings) above ground level. Our vision plan would envisage development of 8m (or 2 storey homes with a pitched roof) in this area.

Note that there is no impact on the historic skyline.

View from A towards forklift 23B

NB The forklift in this image was set at 16m above ground level (equivalent to 4 or 5 storeys). Our vision plan would envisage development of up to 12m (university uses) in this area.

Note that there is no impact on the historic skyline.

View from A towards forklifts 25A, B and C

NB The forklifts in this image were set at 12m above ground level. Our vision plan would envisage development of this height in this area.

Note that there is no impact on the historic skyline.
