TAYLOR Wimpey East Scotland has made an application for approval of details relating to planning permission in principle to Midlothian Council to provide a further 214 new homes off Corby Craig Terrace and Reeforts Avenue in Bilston.
The submission sets out the firm’s detailed proposals for housing, landscaping, and materials at the development. The plans include a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom. The affordable homes will provide a range of one, two, and three-bedroom properties, proposed for social rent.
The development will also feature a new range of homes the housebuilder plans to build in Scotland.
Pauline Mills, technical director at Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said, “We are delighted to confirm that we have made an application for approval of matters specified by conditions relating to our planning permission in principle for the development of land off Corby Craig Road in Bilston. This planning application represents our significant and continued investment in the local Midlothian area, and we look forward to positive discussions with the local authority to progress with this development.
“Our proposed development, Bilston, will see us return to the local area with our range of high-quality homes. It will also take an industry-leading approach to biodiversity with the introduction of bug hotels, bird and bat boxes, bee-friendly planting, and high-quality landscaping throughout. In addition, each new home will also include solar PV panels to help reduce the overall carbon footprint of the development.
“Along with an impressive range of new homes, our proposed development will also provide a range of economic benefits for the local Bilston and wider Midlothian area. This includes supporting new jobs for every year of construction and attracting new customers to local businesses from those who choose to live in one of the new homes this development aims to deliver.”
