Construction News Image
Plans have been unveiled to expand a housing development in the Woodhall area of Port Glasgow.

River Clyde Homes (RCH) is planning to build 18 new homes at the site, marking the fourth and final phase of the scheme.

Overall, the social housing provider will deliver 128 new homes in 2017, totalling an investment of £27 million.

In addition, Turner & Townsend (T&T) will take on the project management of the new builds while Cruden Homes West will be responsible for the construction element of the schemes.

This latest announcement comes as RCH starts work on 41 new homes at Bay Street, due for completion in January 2018. The organisation plans to build 750 new homes in five years.

Overall, the company is committing around £100m to build new homes in the Port Glasgow area alongside a continued investment in the refurbishment and regeneration of existing properties.

Gary Wilson, Executive Director of Property Services at RCH, said: "We have big ambitions for Inverclyde.

"Our plans for the final phase of development at Woodhall come on top of our recent announcements of 90 new homes in Slaemuir and 20 in the Mallard area of Greenock.

"Given the scale of our plans it made sense to seek a project manager and main contractor to work with across developments, and I am pleased to announce that we will be working with Turner & Townsend and Cruden Homes on all of the new build projects we have announced this year. This will allow us to work efficiently to deliver a consistent high standard in the new homes we are building across Inverclyde."

Allan Callaghan, Managing Director of Cruden Homes West, added: "We are really pleased to have secured the design development and construction contract for River Clyde Homes' exciting and ambitious new build regeneration plans in Inverclyde.

"These homes are being developed in close consultation with the River Clyde Homes' technical and management teams to produce high quality, attractive and distinctive houses. Working together, we will deliver much needed modern housing, much of which will be ideal for family living with front and back gardens. Importantly, these highly energy efficient and well planned homes will allow residents to reap the benefits of lower fuel bills."

David Hogg, Director in T&T's Glasgow office and Scottish Lead of their Regeneration Team, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed by River Clyde Homes to manage such an important programme of new housing. Our team of Project and Cost Managers are looking forward to delivering new homes which not only represent value for money but also working with River Clyde Homes and Cruden to deliver wider benefits for the Inverclyde community."
