The development, which will deliver 74 affordable homes in partnership with Fife Council, has also been designed to provide a range of options for first time buyers and growing families with a range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes.

As part of the Section 75 planning agreement with the council, Taylor Wimpey is contributing £583,600 toward transportation improvements. This includes £399,600 towards strategic transport improvements and £184,000 towards local road upgrading works.

Pauline Mills, land and planning director at Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: “We are so pleased to be starting the construction of our Spencer Fields development in Inverkeithing. The development will not only provide residents from around the local area with a wide selection of homes, but it offers great commutable routes to Edinburgh and the wider Fife area.

“As one of the largest housebuilders in the UK, we are committed to building more than homes and making sure that we add social, economic and environmental value to the wider communities that we operate in.”
