TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland has been granted planning permission by East Renfrewshire Council to deliver 125 new homes that will form part of the Barrhead South Masterplan.
The properties are in addition to the housebuilder’s two current developments in Barrhead — Arthurlie Gate and Duncarnock.
Springhill Gardens will comprise a variety of three, four, and five-bedroom homes. As part of Taylor Wimpey’s environmental strategy, the site will feature properties equipped with air-source heat pumps as the development is gas-free. Other sustainability measures include bug hotels, bee bricks, bird boxes, and hedgehog highways.
Martin Findlay, technical director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said, “We are delighted to have secured planning consent from East Renfrewshire Council for 125 new homes, which allows us to expand our range of new homes for customers in Barrhead, and follows our agreement with another developer to buy the land. It is also an important step for our business to be building a development without gas heating and incorporating sustainable features to make our homes warm and comfortable.
“In addition to offering air-source heat pumps, these homes will also feature energy-saving elements, including wastewater heat recovery and EV charging points. We are pleased to have started our programme of pre-construction works, and we plan to launch the first new homes for sale early next year.”
