TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland has submitted a detailed planning application to South Lanarkshire Council for the final phase of its Newton Farm development in Cambuslang.
The plans will complete the multi-million-pound masterplan vision for the location that sits within a South Lanarkshire Council community growth area where construction of new homes in Newton Farm phase 1 started in 2007.
Planning permission in principle for phase two of the masterplan was granted in 2014, and Taylor Wimpey West Scotland’s latest planning application for the final development of new homes within this phase aims to provide 206 two, three, and four bedroom homes.
Located off Harvester Avenue, the development will provide a mix of Taylor Wimpey’s current range of house styles. It will also see the introduction of a new range of homes the housebuilder plans to build in Scotland.
The masterplan development includes two new primary schools, a range of affordable, homes in line with Taylor Wimpey’s Section 75 obligations, local community and sporting facilities, large areas of maintained open space and green corridors, play parks and cycleways, a newly- consented retail area, as well as ‘significant’ transport infrastructure to support a settlement of this size and upgrades to the River Clyde Walkway.
Martin Findlay, technical director of Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said, “It’s hugely significant that we have made our final detailed planning application to South Lanarkshire Council to complete the Newton Farm masterplan.
“The vision for this development within the South Lanarkshire community growth area was always to create a new place to call home for the community, and this commitment remains the same as we await the outcome of our final detailed planning application for the development.
“This is one of our largest developments in Scotland that, once completed, will provide up to 1,500 new homes, a total investment of over £190m in Section 75, and an impressive range of community benefits.”
