Property group Park Lane has outlined plans to create around 400 homes and a commercial opportunity in Milton Leys in the Highlands.
Acting on behalf of site-owner Hazledene and not-for-profit developer HHA, Park Lane has submitted a proposal of application notice to Highland Council.
The currently vacant 25.2 acre site would be turned into a new neighbourhood that would expand the existing homes that border the proposed development.
Retention of existing trees and the creation of green space has been detailed in the masterplan, which will be further refined following feedback from the council and planned community consultation sessions.
A planning application is expected to be submitted later in 2022.
Brian Clarke, joint managing director at Park Lane, said: “Building on the success and popularity of new housing developments in Milton of Leys over the last five years our masterplan has been shaped to complement this and designed as an extension of the community.”
Gail Matheson, chief executive at HHA, added: “The Highland-wide Local Development Plan identifies that there is an acute need for more affordable housing options - our vision will help to address this, alongside providing private, mid-market and low-cost home tenure and ownership options.
“We are hopeful that the Highland Council and local residents alike can see the wealth of economic and community benefits an additional 400 homes will bring to the area as we collectively look to future-proof the Highland’s economy and housing supply.”
