Plans by Waverley Housing Association to demolish existing multi-storey properties in the ageing Upper Langlee estate in Galashiels to make way for 109 new low-rise homes have been approved by Scottish Borders Council.Working with Camerons Strachan Yuill Architects, the regeneration will deliver a single three-storey block of amenity flats at the entrance to the site at Beech Avenue, Laurel Grove and Larch Grove, together with 14 terraced house blocks as well as district air source heat pump facilities.This application forms part of a wider initiative for the regeneration of the Western area of Upper Langlee which includes the refurbishment of a number of existing multi-storey flatted properties and general environmental improvements of the surrounding neighbourhood by Waverly.Works will be undertaken in three phases with timings still to be determined.
