About the development
In your area
Following the success of our Cameron Gardens and Pentland Green developments, we are excited for our plans to create another thriving community in Bilston with 214 high-quality new homes, 25% of which will be affordable.
Pentland Gardens will introduce a brand-new range house type styles that differ from our previous developments in Bilston. These will be two, three and four bedroom homes across a range of detached, semi-detached and terraced styles. Our homes are designed to appeal to a wide range of homeowners and each home is perfect for modern living.
Situated north of Bilston, Midlothian, the development is bordered by our previous developments, Pentland Green to the west and Cameron Gardens to the south. The development will see impressive open space and a new play area.
Homes proposed
These new house styles feature modern, open-plan layouts, flooded with natural light designed to elevate your lifestyle. After years of perfecting our classic designs, we’ve listened to our customers feedback and created homes that offer a more spacious and versatile living experience.
Designed to enhance your lifestyle, our proposed development will offer 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes in detached, semi-detached, and terraced styles. They're all two-story homes with driveways and gardens to enhance character within the development.

Connectivity
The A701 road runs between Bilston and Loanhead, connecting Dumfries to Edinburgh. It also crosses the A720 city bypass. The development is very well connected to Edinburgh via bus, with many bus stops nearby with direct routes into Edinburgh City Centre.
Within the area of the proposed development lie numerous core paths which will connect local residents with nearby settlements and features.

Ecology
Preserving and enhancing local wildlife is a key consideration when we plan and build new developments. We have carried out an initial assessment of the ecological features present to identify any ecological constraints on the site. Our plans propose significant opportunities to enhance the site for local wildlife and measures to enhance biodiversity including bird and bat boxes.
The development framework seeks to create a plan that blends seamlessly with the existing surroundings and enhances the overall area.
Community benefits features
We believe it’s our responsibility to support our communities, so that people are proud to call them home. That’s why we regularly donate time and money to local causes, and are passionate about investing in the areas we build.
Our new Environment Strategy sets out how we intend to help protect our environment for future generations by partnering with suppliers to reduce the impact of the homes and developments we build. We will make it easier for our customers to live a sustainable lifestyle. Our strategy focuses on the key environmental impacts for our business: climate change, nature, resources and waste.
