BRIAR Homes has been granted planning permission for its first development in Fife – a 137-home residential development in the village of Kennoway.
The £40 million project will see the delivery of 123 new homes for sale, comprising a mix of three, four, and five-bedroom properties on the village’s eastern edge, north of Levern Road. An additional 14 homes for social rent will also be delivered on behalf of Fife Council.
Briar Homes said the development has been brought forward in response to the rising demand for ‘family-friendly, affordable housing’, particularly among first-time buyers and young families.
The housebuilder’s expansion into Fife follows a £7.3 million funding package secured from Bank of Scotland and Housing Growth Partnership (HGP) in April 2024, supporting the creation of 310 new homes across several Scottish sites, including upcoming developments in Barrhead, Gladsmuir, and Kennoway.
Paul Kelly, MD of Briar Homes Ltd, said, “It’s great to secure planning at Kennoway which will enable works to begin on site over the coming months. Fife is an area in crucial need of homes so we anticipate a healthy demand for these homes from first time buyers and families alike.”
Groundworks are due to start next month, with the sales launch of the first phase expected to follow shortly after.
