The new homes, which will be built to the north of Tarryholme pond, will allow tenants to choose from 11 house types including bungalows and two-storey homes. The semi-detached and terraced properties will have two to four bedrooms.

The homes plan was signed off unanimously at a local authority planning committee last Wednesday, The Daily Record reports. 

The project is phase two of a development plan - with 87 homes already built.

Councillor Tom Marshall, planning committee chair, said: “I was greatly impressed by phase 1. It is a first-class development. From the plans, it looks as if phase 2 will be as good if not better. It ticks a lot of my boxes in terms of having bungalows, single-story houses and good access.”

A design statement said: “The position of each housing type has been carefully considered within the site and the resulting positions of house types ensure that a diverse community of residents with varying needs are able to contribute to its vitality, including families, with children, older persons, veterans, wheelchair users, couples or single persons.”
