Set within 165 hectares, the sustainable, mixed-use development will see 3,000 homes built alongside employment land with facilities and services including schools, shops and a health centre, constructed over a 15 year period.

The development will help meet the demand for growth as set out in the region's structure plan.

Managing Director for Strategic Land at Stewart Milne Group, Steve Loomes, said: "Jim will make an excellent addition to the highly experienced team already working on this development. His appointment complements the expertise we have within our business to deliver this exemplar project that will represent the very best in place-making and deliver clear social and economic benefits, as well as employment opportunities both during and after construction."

Fitzsimons acted for Barratt Developments in Scotland as project director of one of the country's largest infrastructure and development schemes in Central Scotland at Ravenscraig, and since 2012, has led various commercial development and management projects through Capella Developments Ltd.
