Private apartments granted planning approval in Linlithgow

Located on Edinburgh Road, the two-bedroom properties will be marketed by the Glasgow-based developer, CCG Homes, and will form part of a new mixed-use development that will also include a 60-bedroom, private care home led by Morrison Community Care Group and CCG Homes’ parent company, CCG (Scotland).Located east of the busy town centre, the homes will have advanced, low-carbon energy performance credentials thanks to the use of zero-emissions heating systems.Complementary to an enhanced building fabric which will help to naturally reduce heat loss and in-use energy consumption, the properties will have an exhaust-air heat pump in place of gas boilers for space heating and hot water services.Where an air-source heat pump is installed externally and extracts ambient air, an exhaust air unit is internally housed within the property.The pump also extracts ambient air via vents on the side of the property but it also re-uses warm air from wet rooms to convert heat into water which will then serve all radiators and instantaneous sources of hot water.Calum Murray, CCG Homes managing director, said: “Linlithgow is a charming town that is conveniently located between Glasgow and Edinburgh and I am delighted that we will be bringing our market-leading offering to the local property market with Edinburgh Road.“The homes will have luxury specification as standard whilst their energy and sustainability credentials will be some of the most advanced anywhere in the country. I am confident the homes will speak to a variety of buyers and we look forward to engaging with prospective purchasers very soon.”
