TAYLOR Wimpey East Scotland has received an Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC) detailed planning consent from Fife Council to build the first 68 new homes at the Whitefields development in Dunfermline.
Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) has already been secured for the wider Whitefields masterplan, and the Whitefield Gardens development forms the first phase of the new neighbourhood.
This development will feature a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes and, in recognition of the site’s heritage, will include a seating area that incorporates the original dated lintel of the Wester Whitefields farmhouse. Micro-play areas will also be provided to encourage outdoor play.
A programme of infrastructure works, both on and off-site, is already underway at Whitefields, and construction of new homes will start in the coming weeks.
As the Whitefields masterplan develops, around 1,400 new properties will be created as well as a primary school, provision for shops and community facilities, and transport infrastructure improvements.
Pauline Mills, technical director at Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said, “We are delighted to have secured our first AMSC planning consent for new homes at Whitefield Gardens and to continue making good progress in the significant preparations required to create our vision for the Whitefields neighbourhood.
“With the delivery of around 1,400 new homes, the creation of significant new infrastructure and improvements to existing transport links, as well as substantial community benefits, Whitefields is a brand-new community and place to call home in north Dunfermline.”
