Persimmon Homes West Scotland has announced plans for the development of 426 new homes, following the purchase of a site at Byrehill Grange.
With planning permission already in place, the Byrehill Grange development, will offer a variety of much-needed two- to four-bedroom energy-efficient new homes. The development will transform vacant and derelict land within the town into a vibrant new housing development, breathing new life into the town.
The development will include work to increase biodiversity in the area. The nearby Penny Burn will be rerouted through Byrehill Grange which will contain significant areas of open space incorporating a range of play areas and landscaping incorporating wildflower meadows.
In addition to new homes and improved biodiversity, the development will deliver a variety of infrastructure improvements to benefit the town – from zebra crossings to upgraded footpaths, including a new pedestrian bridge over the Penny Burn.
West Scotland region completed the purchase of the site earlier this month, with construction works scheduled to begin later this year.
West Scotland region Land Director Craig Moore said: "We're delighted to be taking forward the Byrehill Grange site, which will transform an area of derelict land and breathe new life into the local area.
"We're committed to investing in North Ayrshire and will continue to work in partnership with the Council to help retain and attract people to live and work in the area.
"With around half of our customers first-time buyers, we're proud to be helping more local families take their first steps onto the housing ladder."
