DUNDAS Estates is to lead the build of 12 new homes in Dunfermline on behalf of Fife Council.
The ‘much-needed’ new council houses will be build on land just off Carnock Road and Rublingwell in Milesmark, with the properties consisting of six three-bedroom terraced houses, two two-bedroom semi-detached houses, and four two-bedroom cottage flats.
Fife Council said that it is anticipated that work could start later this year with the new homes welcoming their first tenants in late 2025.
Councillor Judy Hamilton, spokesperson for housing, said, “I am pleased that we’re continuing to deliver on our ambitious Affordable Housing Programme. The pressures on housing services remain persistently high, and we are in the midst of a housing emergency. However, we can’t lose sight of the fact that each newly built home is an important milestone in delivering more modern, fit-for-purpose, energy-efficient affordable houses.
“It can also be transformative for the wellbeing of tenants who move in with the new-build houses offering secure tenancy in warmer, drier and healthier homes.”
As well as providing more housing, the Affordable Housing Programme continues to create jobs and apprenticeships, supporting the construction industry and the Fife economy.
