Phase two of multi-million pound development in Holytown takes important step forward

The proposal for phase two at Torrance Park is for a residential development that will include a total of 638 new two, three and four bedroom homes together with associated infrastructure, landscaping and open spaces.

The current phase of development at Torrance Park has involved the construction of 270 homes and a new clubhouse for the golf course, which has had a transformational effect.

The transport improvements delivered as part of phase 1, including the roundabout on the A723, has had a positive impact on the local area and has the capacity required to serve the phase 2 proposals.

This is another key milestone for the development as the broader vision for Torrance Park emerges as Russell Wilkie, director of Murray Estates, said: “This planning application follows our public consultation event last year, where the local community had an opportunity to share their views and comment on our proposals for phase two of the development.

“Our planning application with our development partners Taylor Wimpey West Scotland and Barratt Homes West Scotland allows us to continue to deliver our vision to create a vibrant residential development in the heart of North Lanarkshire.

“We hope to be able to continue our positive contribution to the existing local community of Holytown by creating an attractive and desirable place to live.

“Subject to all of the necessary approvals being in place, we anticipate that construction of phase two could begin in early 2020.”
