A collection of 16 affordable homes has been completed at Lochside Park in Dunfermline, marking the fourth collaboration between Lochay Homes and Kingdom Housing Association.
Delivered under a £3.6 million build contract, the scheme forms part of Lochay Homes’ wider Lochside Park development, which includes 43 private three and four-bedroom homes. The affordable homes comprise a mix of cottage flats, terraced and semi-detached houses, and an accessible bungalow.
The homes are now ready for residents to move in later this month. Once occupied, they will join the 21 households already living in the wider development, which is due to be fully completed by summer 2026.
Jamie Thomson, MD of Lochay Homes, said, “This project reflects the kind of balanced, mixed-tenure communities we believe in building. Lochside Park combines high-quality private and affordable homes within one cohesive design, which creates a real sense of place rather than separation. Working with Kingdom Housing Association has allowed us to deliver homes that are not only well built but genuinely meet the needs of local people.
“There’s a huge amount of collaboration involved in schemes like this – from design and procurement through to handover – and it’s been a real partnership effort from start to finish. Seeing families begin to move in is always the best reminder of why we do what we do.”
Tricia Hill, Kingdom’s development and sustainability director, added, “It’s been fantastic to see the completed homes at Lochside Park and help shape the growing community here. This is our fourth project with Lochay Homes, and each time the partnership has delivered homes that make a tangible difference for local people. This is more vital than ever in the midst of the housing emergency. The high quality of build at Dunfermline really stands out, and we’re pleased to see another development that supports our wider aim of building strong, sustainable neighbourhoods, which is central to Kingdom’s mission of creating more than a home.”
The development is the latest in a growing partnership between the two organisations, following projects in Alloa, Cardenden, and St Monans.
