Nearly 80 new 'affordable' homes are to be built in Glenrothes, Fife.
Following approval from the council, Robertson will soon begin delivering a mix of 78 high quality, modern bungalow, wheelchair accessible, amenity housing and two-storey homes at Cullen Drive.
The scheme is part of the wider Fife Council Affordable Housing Programme being carried out by development partner Robertson Partnership Homes and supported by town planners and architects Barton Willmore.
The planning application also included public realm space, in addition to associated car parking, landscaping and links with existing street and established infrastructure.
The development was procured through Scape Group's National Major Works Framework, now superseded by Major Works Scotland, part of the (Scape) National Construction framework, and delivered by Robertson in partnership with Willmott Dixon.
Stewart Shearer, Managing Director of Robertson Partnership Homes, said: "We're proud to partner with Fife Council to deliver hundreds of high-quality affordable homes which will contribute to the identified demand for new homes in the region.
"The development includes a mix of flexible properties that will serve communities for generations to come, forming a strong relationship with the surrounding built environment to promote safe and pleasant living for all residents while contributing socially, economically and aesthetically to the area."
Stuart Bishop, Architecture Director at Barton Willmore, said: "We are pleased that planning permission has been granted for new homes at Cullen Drive, which marks a significant milestone in progressing this wider programme of residential development across Fife.
"This project is in line with Fife Council's ongoing commitment to placemaking and creating sustainable communities, as well as contributing to alleviating Scotland's housing shortage through the delivery of much needed new family homes.
"Cullen Drive will be a high-quality, vibrant neighbourhood that will create a highly attractive and desirable environment in which to enjoy life."
