en.Wedoany.com Reported - A planning application for residential redevelopment has been submitted for a former poultry processing plant site covering approximately 2 acres in the village of Letham, Angus, Scotland, UK. The application was lodged by Glen Etive Projects on behalf of developer Prospect Estates, based in West Yorkshire. The proposal outlines the construction of 35 two-bedroom and three-bedroom two-storey homes on the site.
The site, located at the junction of Woodside Road and Dundee Street in Letham, was previously operated as a poultry processing plant for many years. It was initially run by Mitchell of Letham, later sold to 2 Sisters Food Group, and subsequently acquired by One Stop Halal. The plant closed in 2015 following a strategic review and has remained vacant despite multiple attempts to sell it. The former buildings have recently been demolished. The submitted planning statement notes that there is no commercial demand for the site as a former factory.
Prospect Estates, a real estate investment and development company headquartered in Otley, West Yorkshire, was founded in 1996. It specialises in the acquisition and redevelopment of industrial properties and has expanded into residential development land in recent years. The company holds a mixed-use property portfolio across the UK. Glen Etive Projects is acting as the representative for this application submission.

Letham is one of the largest villages in Angus and the largest settlement in the West Angus housing market area. Surrounded by high-quality farmland, it serves as an important rural service centre, offering a range of local services and employment opportunities. According to the draft plan, the site entrance will be located on Dundee Street. Angus Council has received the planning application for residential redevelopment of this brownfield site.
The submission of this planning application marks a new chapter for the long-vacant industrial site. Converting the disused factory into homes will help address local housing demand while enabling the reuse of brownfield land. The project is set to add new housing supply to Letham, supporting the village's continued development. If approved, the scheme will serve as another practical example of brownfield redevelopment and rural housing provision in Angus.
