CCG has started construction at Bannockburn Road, Cowie, where 22 new, affordable homes will be delivered upon the site of the former St Margaret's Primary School on behalf of Stirling Council.
The new residential development will be highly energy-efficient with enhanced fabric performance achieved via CCG's 'iQ' Timber System complemented by solar panels and battery storage.
All properties will be available for social rent and will consist of:
• 4 x 1 bedroom cottage flats
• 4 x 2 bedroom cottage flats
• 6 x 1 bedroom houses including one wheelchair house
• 5 x 2 bedroom houses
• 3 x 3 bedroom houses including one wheelchair house.
Community consultation was undertaken during the planning stages for this development, with Cowie Community Council, Cowie Rural Action Group (CRAG) Annual Fun Day and The Thursday CRAG group, providing supportive feedback for the site to be redeveloped for new build affordable homes.
Stirling Council Housing Portfolio Holder, Councillor Jim Thomson, said: "The construction of these houses is part of Stirling Council's Strategic Housing Investment Programme (SHIP) to deliver 700 new social rented properties by 2022 and is supported by Scottish Government funding.
"It's great to see work started and this adds to our growing stock of affordable housing."
Depute Housing Portfolio Holder, Councillor Alasdair MacPherson, said: "I am pleased to see this former school site being brought back into use with the construction of much needed new council housing which includes homes built specifically for the needs of disabled families."
Depute Housing Portfolio Holder, Councillor Danny Gibson, said: "These new homes will be among the first in Stirling to be built with automatic fire suppression systems installed, which will improve the fire safety within our properties."
CCG Managing Director, David Wylie, said: "We are delighted at making our return to Stirlingshire with Bannockburn Road and look forward to working with the Council to deliver these much-needed affordable homes. Thanks to our advanced construction methods, the development will be built to the highest standards of quality and energy performance as well as being delivered at an advanced pace.
"Furthermore, as a result of our involvement, CCG will deliver a comprehensive community benefit programme that will include the creation of jobs, curriculum support for schools and a £6000 donation to locally based projects."
