Work is now about to begin on a huge new West Lothian neighbourhood that will be filled with luxury homes.
Construction will be given the green light on the new Linlithgow development on Thursday (April 28), which will include 60 brand new homes.
Located to the south west of the town, the new community, Preston Glade, will take over 6.2 hectares and contain a mixture of five bedroom homes, cottage flats and some terraced houses.
Taken on by CALA Homes, the luxury property developer have said the new community will fill a "sizeable shortfall" in the area.

As well as a range of properties, a planning consultation and work with local residents has meant the development will also include significant amounts of communal green space, including 3600 square metres of open space adjacent to Deanburn Road.
Gillian Tait, Planning & Design Land Director with Cala Homes (East), said: “The site start is always an important milestone for us. Preston Glade will bring to market spacious and efficient homes that are in demand and boost supply throughout the market.
“As we’ve seen through our work building and handing over affordable homes at Queenswood there is a sizeable shortfall – and we know that a further 15, including bungalows, at this location will be timely.
“While we look forward to creating these homes, we recognise how imperative it is that the neighbouring community is kept in the loop throughout.
“Having a development on the doorstep can have its challenges, so the onus is on our teams and subcontractors to be considerate and responsible throughout.”
The new development follows on the heels of the final reservation at Cala’s nearby Queenswood development to the east of Linlithgow.
The site represented a sustainability milestone, with all private homes achieving A-rating Energy Performance Certificate, thanks to the adoption of smart hot water tanks, PV panels and enhanced insulation. This site will be no different, with the added benefit of electric vehicle charging points across selected plots.
Cala hopes to launch the development to market in Spring 2023 with the first completions anticipated late Summer 2023.
