Plan submitted for new housing in West Lothian

Detailed plans have been submitted to West Lothian Council for new and affordable homes in Winchburgh.

This proposed development, Seton Rise, located near Beatlie Road in Winchburgh, is expected to deliver 190 new homes, and forms part of the wider Winchburgh masterplan that when complete will deliver at least 3800 new homes, improved transport links, employment opportunities, and state-of-the-art schools.

The proposals from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland include the provision of 171 two-, three- and four-bedroom private homes, as well as 19 affordable homes in a mix of two- and three-bedroom terraced homes together with the associated infrastructure such as roads, parking and open space that is required for a development of this scale.

Pauline Mills, land and planning director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: “Taylor Wimpey can confirm that an application for Approval of Matters Specified by Condition has been submitted for our land near Beatlie Road in Winchburgh, and we are looking forward to continuing to playing our part in the delivery of the Winchburgh masterplan.

“We will continue to pursue our planning consent this year, which will allow us to get on site as soon as possible in late 2022.

“As well as an impressive range of new private and affordable homes, our proposed development would provide a range of economic benefits for the Winchburgh area which includes supporting over 160 jobs per year of construction, as well as the attraction of new customers to local businesses from those who choose to live in one of the new homes this development aims to deliver.”

John Hamilton, CEO, Winchburgh Developments Ltd, said: “We are proud of what we have achieved in Winchburgh so far, and it’s great to see Taylor Wimpey moving on with their latest development, having previously completed an excellent development at Seton Park. I believe that, when complete, the range of homes available, combined with the lifestyle on offer is absolutely unrivalled at the moment in Scotland.

“We’re really excited about what is yet to come and hope that existing and new residents feel the same.”
