TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland has started construction work on a 233-home development in Bishopton.

Dargavel View, located off Craigton Drive, Dargavel Village, includes 20 affordable properties and is due to officially launch for sale early next year. The site will offer two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes in various styles from Taylor Wimpey’s Scottish and Caledonian house types.

The development extends the housebuilder’s investment in the area and its commitment to playing a key role in delivering the masterplan vision for Dargavel Village. This includes the provision of a new primary school, village square, retail and leisure hub, a new junction off the M8 motorway, and a park/ride to support Bishopton Railway Station.

Martin Findlay, technical director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said, “We are pleased to confirm that construction work is underway to allow us to deliver our next development of new homes off Craigton Drive within Dargavel Village, Bishopton. This continues our support of this major regeneration project in the west of Scotland that is transforming the local area into a thriving new community.

“As well as an impressive range of new homes, our development will continue to contribute to a range of economic benefits for the local Renfrewshire area, including jobs, as well as the attraction of new customers to local businesses, and we look forward to positive discussions with the local authority in order to progress matters.”
