Housebuilder Mactaggart & Mickel has welcomed Inverclyde Council's approval of its outline planning application for a residential development in Kilmacolm.

The Glasgow-based family-owned company has also committed to keep working closely with the community after the local authority backed their planned Quarry Drive development which is set to bring around 75 new homes to Kilmacolm.

Craig Ormond, Director at Mactaggart & Mickel, said: "Mactaggart & Mickel are pleased with Inverclyde Council’s approval of our proposed Kilmacolm development.

"We have developed our proposals to ensure our planned Quarry Drive development fits neatly into the village of Kilmacolm in a sustainable manner.

"Our proposed Quarry Drive development will help meet the well documented need for more homes across Scotland and will boost the local economy.

"The new homes which are planned will be sympathetic to the character of Kilmacolm and they will be perfect for people who are attracted to all of the benefits of living in this fantastic village.

"As part of a major community engagement exercise, which went far beyond what is required by the planning process, we directly contacted all households asking for ideas on how we can make a positive contribution to Kilmacolm.

"We are very grateful for their helpful ideas and delighted that our outline planning application for the project has been backed by Inverclyde Council, we remain fully committed to working closely with the local community and Community Council throughout the remainder of the planning process."
