More than one hundred much-needed new homes are on their way to a Berwickshire town after planning approval was rubber-stamped.
Award-winning housebuilder Whiteburn has secured planning consent for 110 three and four bedroom properties at Allanbank in Lauder.
Whiteburn has designed a range of contemporary homes for this development, located off Stow Road, including properties future-proofed for age-adaptation with ground-floor bedrooms and shower rooms, as well as homes with dedicated office spaces to support home working and work–life balance.
All homes will benefit from full fibre-to-the-home connectivity.
Whiteburn’s Director of Sales, Toria Jones, said: “Our Allanbank development has been designed to offer a variety of new homes for a wide range of buyers.
“We believe buyers will find a home that suits them at Allanbank, whatever their stage of home-buying journey. It is central to our design approach that our developments provide homes for an entire community.
“In addition, homeowners will enjoy contemporary, energy-efficient homes just a short walk from the heart of historic Lauder. We have already received strong interest from local people and look forward to launching our new homes for sale in the spring.”
Director of Design and Development, Roger Bainbridge, added: “Allanbank has been designed to fully embrace the principles of placemaking, with pedestrian-friendly streets and landscaped walking routes.
“Both residents and the wider community will have access to the established woodland and pathways surrounding the development.
“We have created a range of new homes that share a cohesive palette of materials and landscaping, helping to establish a new neighbourhood in Lauder.
“With planning consent now in place, we can begin preparations for construction and anticipate starting on site in the coming months. Our team looks forward to returning to work in the Scottish Borders.”
Allanbank will not only provide a range of new homes for sale, it will also deliver 27 affordable homes for rent.
The construction of these homes will support a diverse range of jobs and local businesses.
Whiteburn welcome enquiries from local businesses interested in working to deliver Allanbank.
