Taylor Wimpey with Optimised Environments have filed plans with Inverclyde Council for a mix of 100 private and affordable homes at Planetreetetts, Kilmacolm.

Situated in an existing residential area close to the village centre the development will include a new area of open space at the corner of Finlaystone Road and Quarry Road.

Lesley McVeigh, strategic land and planning manager for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, commented: “We are delighted to be submitting this planning application, which followed extensive community engagement, and aims to deliver a vibrant and sustainable residential development.

“There are many from Kilmacolm who want to stay in the village but are not currently able to do so due to a shortage of appropriate housing.”

The site will also connect to the National Cycle Network.

look at that proposed house type... absolute mince!
I guess the money they have saved on design fees has gone on the golden road junction?

I remember my Grandpa telling me it was a toss up between Balmoral and Kilmacolm for Victoria’s Scottish Home. With that design illustration she made have made the right choice.

I assume this is for Quarry Drive and not Quarry Road?

The house builders are circulating Kilmacolm like a cash cow to foist their usual blend of faceless house types and 'designing for streets' cliches
