Self-build Dullatur homes cleared for autumn start
September 15 2021
An innovative self-build development at Dullatur Golf Course is to break ground this October after gaining planning consent from North Lanarkshire Council.
Eight new build house plots have been created by rationalising the member car park, with the sale of self-contained development plots serving to pay down club debt in the teeth of local opposition.
A masterplan prepared by Jewitt & Wilkie bisects the car park in half, with the southern portion along Glen Douglas Drive given over to housing, retaining 147 spaces (of the original 219) to the north.
Each home is subject to its own individual consent with plots 1,4,5,7 and 8 brought forward by S2 Architecture and the remainder led by FK1 Design, Cameron Webster and Abode.
Landscaping by DWA will retain a landscaped edge to the remaining car park after a loss of the green frontage was cited in the refusal of an initial masterplan. This will be compensated for by re-establishing an element of hedge and tree planting to screen development.
Each large detached home will provide between four and five bedrooms
Plot 1 plays host to the largest planned home
Plots seven and eight stand as mirror images of one another

Balloch Link Road not the Balloch Loop Road.
And it gets worse -- the Link Road is now officially the Eastfield Road.
The clubhouse went south in the 90's to Craigmarloch aka Auchinbee -- another CDC masterstroke of re-invention.
No matter the name at least with the house designs someone was trying.

Note to UR -- please look beyond the press release.
Dullatur is an ex-railway station with few stone built villas attached plus some 60's plots and three junior executive schemes built over the past 20 years.
The clubhouse left the village / hamlet for the Balloch Loop Road 25 years ago as part of a CDC inspired expansion -- what was it with them and golf / Westerwood Hotel with its SB designed course !?! -- that is now the working definition of a "white elephant" in a number of business textbooks.
Interesting design element to the proposed houses -- probably failing under the "trying too hard" angle but at least they are not the volume filler that surrounds them.
