The development sits within a South Lanarkshire Council Community Growth Area where the construction of new homes in Newton Farm phase 1 started in 2007.

Planning Permission in Principle for Phase 2 of the masterplan was granted in 2014, and Taylor Wimpey West Scotland lodged a detailed planning application last year for the final development of new homes within this phase, which aims to provide 206 two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Located off Harvester Avenue, this part of the development will provide a mix of Taylor Wimpey’s current range of house styles. It will also see the introduction of a new range of homes the housebuilder plans to build in Scotland.

The masterplan development includes two new primary schools, a range of affordable homes in line with Taylor Wimpey’s Section 75 obligations, local community and sporting facilities, large areas of maintained open space and green corridors, playparks and cycleways, a newly-consented retail area, as well as significant transport infrastructure to support a settlement of this size and upgrades to the River Clyde Walkway.
