TULLOCH Homes is to invest £900,000 after The Highland Council confirmed the section 75 Agreement for new homes in Conon Bridge, allowing the housebuilder to move forward with its approved plans to deliver 160 private and affordable homes in the area.
The investment will be used to enhance and improve education, community facilities and active travel connections.
The Conon Braes South development is an extension to the existing development, Conon Bridge North. Comprising 160 properties and complemented by landscaping and open space, the new community will have access to the local primary school, shop, rail halt and a pedestrian link from pocket park to maintain walking routes through the site, which was added following consultation with the community.
Tulloch can now progress plans to deliver new housing at a time when demand is predicted to increase in the area thanks to the establishment of the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport.
Kieran Graham, MD of Tulloch Homes, said, “We are pleased we can take the next step with our plans to support housing demand with the delivery of high quality and energy efficient homes across a range of tenures to suit a variety of people in the area. We expect to make a start on the development next summer and, as with all of our developments, will look to work with local trades and suppliers during construction.
“It is an especially exciting time for the Highlands with the upcoming investment from the Freeport and provision of additional housing options will help ensure the Freeport is a success.”
