Construction News Image
Taylor Wimpey East Scotland has announced the launch of construction work to deliver 19 two and three bedroom affordable homes for social rent for Home in Scotland, which will form part of its Seton Rise development and the wider masterplan vision for the new community now emerging in Winchburgh.

Phil Cooper, Land and Planning Director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: "This latest development of affordable homes for Home in Scotland builds on our successful partnership over the last few years to provide an impressive range of 195 affordable homes at our developments in Winchburgh, East Calder, Ratho Station and Maybury, Edinburgh.

"With 69 properties completed at our Calderwood development, 55 almost complete at our Auldcathie View development in Winchburgh, as well as 47 affordable homes under construction for Maybury and 24 being built at Ratho Station, we are very proud of the work that we do with Home in Scotland and the contribution that we are making across the local area.

"As one of the largest housebuilders in the UK, we are committed to building more than new homes and making sure that we add social, economic and environmental value to the wider communities that we operate in. The delivery of a further 19 affordable homes at Seton Rise is part of that commitment coming to fruition locally in Winchburgh.

"Work on these new two and three bedroom homes has started on time, and our programme is running to plan. We are, therefore, aiming to hand over the first of our completed properties at Seton Rise to Home in Scotland early next year."

Elsa Brailey, Head of Development and Delivery for Home Group, said: "We're proud to be working with our partners to bring 19 new affordable homes to Winchburgh and to see this work getting underway as planned. This is an opportunity for people to find a place to call home and help us support a strong local community.

"One of Home in Scotland's core commitments is to deliver the right homes in the right places and in Winchburgh we believe we are achieving that. We look forward to the first handovers in early 2025."
