Bucolic Bangour hospital to be nursed back to life
April 20 2023
West Lothian Council has awarded planning permission for 412 homes at Bangour Village, the first phase of a new neighbourhood within the grounds of a Victorian hospital.
Ambassador Group will soon break ground on a range of house types set within 215 acres of woodland, as part of efforts to establish a new neighbourhood centred on an A-listed recreation hall.
Gordon Coster, managing director of Ambassador Group's developments division, said: "We are committed to honouring Bangour's legacy and working with the local community and stakeholders to create a sustainable future for this incredible location."
An estate masterplan by Ark Architecture + Design envisages an eventual 998 homes at the scenic site over the coming decade, including a school and shops.
Infrastructure and groundworks are already underway with detailed designs for the phased masterplan now being progressed.
20% of available properties will be classed as affordable
A district heating system will power the low energy estate
An aerial plan illustrates the scale of the transformation
Historic buildings will be retained and repurposed
