The house builder’s development at Mains Farm is now underway after it received full backing from East Lothian Council following a proposal in line with its vision for much needed new homes in the area.

The new development will bring a wide mix of properties, including much-needed, smaller homes to the area, suitable for young professionals and families, to help encourage more economically active people into the town.

David McGrath, managing director at CALA Homes (East), said: “We are delighted to have been given the go ahead for this development, allowing us to continue our presence in North Berwick and to provide much needed homes as part of a wider residential led development.

“It is clear that there is real demand for a wide range of family homes – and this is strongly reflected in this development.”

The Mains Farm development will consist of 147 three, four and five bedroom homes, the majority of which are three bedroom properties.
