Councillors have approved the final part of the project - four semi-detached properties on the Eliza Street site, separate from the other 36 properties.

However, it was approved subject to the conditions that Scottish Water approves the proposed drainage system and that all gates for the homes open inwards.

A spokesperson for the Association said: “I can confirm that work on our development at Eliza Street has started. The project completion date is the end of October 2018.”

Ogilvie Construction began work on the flats during the summer, each of which have three bedrooms and more than 50 square metres of garden, and will be built to the Greener Homes Innovation Scheme.
