SAVILLS Development has launched to market a development site at Helensburgh Golf Course.
The site, currently an 18-hole golf course, spans approximately 19.54 acres and is allocated in the Argyll and Bute Local Development Plan (LDP2) as site H2004. The sloping terrain from north to south is said to enhance its natural beauty, making it an ‘ideal location’ for a new residential community, Savills said.
The site being offered for sale has been ‘simplified and reduced’ compared to a previous proposal, ensuring a more streamlined development process. Once the preferred developer has been selected, they will be required to submit a planning application for housing, with a minimum of 25% affordable housing to be delivered jointly with Dunbritton Housing Association and Helensburgh Golf Club (which is seeking to upgrade club facilities with the provision of four new golf holes and a modern clubhouse).
Savills Development director Nicola Lunn said, “We are delighted to present this outstanding development opportunity at Helensburgh Golf Course. This project not only offers a stunning setting for new housing but also supports the golf club’s future with the integration of new clubhouse facilities and replacement golf holes.
“The funds generated from the sale will provide a substantial legacy fund for the club, ensuring its continued success. Moreover, the provision of much-needed housing, including affordable homes, will greatly benefit the local community and contribute to the vibrant growth of Helensburgh.”
