Designed by Collective Architecture and set to be delivered by CCG (Scotland) on a full Design and Build basis. the housing mix consists of two, three, four and five-bedroom terraced and semi-detached house types designed around a series of communal courtyards and an innovative Sustainable Urban Drainage Strategy (SUDS) that supports a wider emphasis on ecology and amenity.
Works will commence on-site later this year.
