CONSTRUCTION work is underway on the delivery of 19 two and three-bedroom affordable homes for social rent for Home in Scotland, which will form part of Taylor Wimpey East Scotland’s Seton Rise development and the wider masterplan vision for the new community emerging in Winchburgh.
The housebuilder is aiming to hand over the first of the completed properties early next year.
Phil Cooper, land and planning director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said, “This latest development of affordable homes for Home in Scotland builds on our successful partnership over the last few years to provide an impressive range of 195 affordable homes at our developments in Winchburgh, East Calder, Ratho Station and Maybury, Edinburgh.
“With 69 properties completed at our Calderwood development, 55 almost complete at our Auldcathie View development in Winchburgh, as well as 47 affordable homes under construction for Maybury and 24 being built at Ratho Station, we are very proud of the work that we do with Home in Scotland and the contribution that we are making across the local area.”
Elsa Brailey, head of development and delivery for Home Group, added, “We’re proud to be working with our partners to bring 19 new affordable homes to Winchburgh and to see this work getting underway as planned. This is an opportunity for people to find a place to call home and help us support a strong local community.
“One of Home in Scotland’s core commitments is to deliver the right homes in the right places and in Winchburgh we believe we are achieving that. We look forward to the first handovers in early 2025.”
