Learn about our plans for an exciting new community in Livingston
Our plans also include new pedestrian and cycle links to the existing Livingston network, 9 acres of open space, including a linear park with tree planting and an equipped play area for family and friends to enjoy.
About the development
The Masterplan
A significant area of green open space will be retained and improved for the use of residents, and green connections will provide a wildlife link to Limefield Glen/Harwood Water. We will be taking an industry-leading approach to biodiversity on this site, with the introduction of bug hotels, bird and bat boxes, bee-friendly planting and high-quality landscaping throughout.
There will be a range of approximately 300 new high quality homes in a mix of styles and sizes, these homes will include Solar PV panels to help reduce the carbon footprint of the development. 25% will be affordable homes for local people.

Connectivity
As part of the planning application process, we have prepared a Transport Assessment and the proposed primary access, off the A71, has been agreed with the Council in principle.
Cycling and walking will be encouraged with a network of footpaths and cycleways, which will provide easy access to the nearby towns and residential areas. Existing transport links, include the A71 which is adjacent to the development, and existing local bus services will service the development making this an easy choice for commuters and those who need to travel around the local area.

A team of volunteers from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland recently spent the day volunteering at the Community Woods and Garden in Polbeth and West Calder, reinforcing the housebuilder’s ongoing commitment to supporting the communities where it builds. The volunteering session coincides with work getting underway at Limefield Grove, Taylor Wimpey East Scotland’s latest development in the local area. The team rolled up their sleeves to help with a range of tasks across the site, including clearing and preparing planting areas and assisting with general maintenance and tidying to support the charity’s efforts to keep the woods and garden accessible and welcoming for local residents.

We’re always looking for ways to give back to the communities around our developments, and spending the day at the Community Woods and Garden was a fantastic opportunity to do just that. The team really enjoyed getting stuck in and supporting the brilliant work that Sarah and her volunteers do all year round. As work at our Limefield Grove development gets underway nearby, we’re committed to continuing our support for local groups and helping strengthen the community we’re building within
