Taylor Wimpey makes detailed planning application for Hamilton development

Taylor Wimpey West Scotland has submitted an Approval of Matters specified in Conditions (AMSC) application to South Lanarkshire Council for the provision of 206 private new homes through the development of land off Meikle Earnock Road, in Hamilton.This proposed development forms part of the wider masterplan for the Brackenhill Farm area and recognised as part of the Hamilton Community Growth area.Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) has already been secured for this development, and Taylor Wimpey’s AMSC planning application sets out its detailed proposals for housing mix, landscaping and building materials.The proposals include a mix of two and three-bedroom terrace and semi-detached, as well as four and five-bedroom detached homes to ultimately appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.The design of the development follows the agreed design principles already set out in the masterplan which will see upgrades to Meikle Earnock Road, including continuation of the bus route and a new footpath network allowing access to the adjacent woodland and open space .This development will also benefit from the delivery of key infrastructure as part of the masterplan vision for the area such as further upgrades to Meikle Earnock Road, and there are play areas provided within other parcels of the masterplan development.New footpaths will connect to the existing local footpath network and they will also provide access to the wider open space of the overall development.
