CRUDEN has submitted a planning application for a new 67-home development at Kirkton North, Livingston.
The site is currently allocated for residential development in the West Lothian local development plan. The proposed scheme will provide properties including detached, semi-detached, terraced homes, and cottage flats, offering accommodation from two to five-bedrooms. 25% of the homes will be delivered as affordable housing.
Designed by EMA Architects to integrate with its surroundings, Cruden said the project places a strong emphasis on design quality, placemaking and landscape. The eight-acre site features retained woodland and a new play area, alongside enhanced pedestrian connections.
The plans have been shaped through engagement with West Lothian Council and the local community, with feedback from pre-application consultation events described as directly influencing the final layout, housing mix, and open space provision.
Paul Doran, development director at Cruden, said, “From the outset, our approach has been to create a carefully designed development that respects and enhances its surroundings, strengthens the local sense of place, and thoughtfully integrates new homes with green spaces and the existing community. Our proposals provide much-needed, high-quality housing for Livingston, building on our recent track record of delivering homes across a range of tenures in West Lothian.
“Beyond housing, the development will contribute to the vibrancy of the area, promote sustainable living, and generate long-term social and economic benefits for the wider community.”
Pending detailed planning consent, Cruden expects to start work on site later this year.
