We can confirm that we have secured detailed planning consent from South Lanarkshire Council to deliver 612 homes as part of the master plan vision for Newton Farm in Cambuslang.
 
The development will consist of five individual phases of new homes and each one will offer a range of two, three, and four bedroom homes in a variety of styles and sizes to appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. The development will embrace the Scottish planning guidance principles of ‘Designing Streets’ which aims to create varied streetscapes and spaces, and will include features such as focal points within many of the street-scenes, as well as character areas which are essentially shared spaces in a residential zone to provide a focus for social interaction.  
 
Character areas with associated landscaping will be real assets to the overall feel of this development and will create social spaces that are accessible for both pedestrians and vehicles.  Within this development there will be an equipped play area which will create an attractive and fun place for children to play.
 
Newton Farm is a multi-million pound master plan development that is situated within a South Lanarkshire Council ‘Community Growth Area’ which is an area that has been designated for housing and associated infrastructure.  As part of the wider master plan, Taylor Wimpey will provide a new primary school complete with 3G sports pitch, retail space, plus wider infrastructure improvements which will include new cycle-ways and off-site roadworks, as well as further play areas which will be delivered at varying stages as the wider development is constructed.  
 
Stephen Andrew, Associate Technical Director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland adds:  “Taylor Wimpey is delighted to confirm that detailed planning consent has been granted for part of our land at Newton Farm.  This marks our ongoing commitment, investment and strong track record of delivering excellent quality developments in South Lanarkshire.   
 
“Our first release of properties in this part of the development will consist of 122 new homes offering a choice of two, three, and four bedroom styles to choose from.  We expect these to be on sale in the spring of this year, and we anticipate that the first families will move into this phase of the development towards the end of 2015.
 
“And as part of our approach to the overall development master plan, we will update the local community as the timescales for the aspects of the wider development such as the new school with 3-G sports pitch, play areas and key infrastructure works emerge.”
