Springfield Properties submits proposals for two Moray sites

Scottish housebuilder Springfield Properties has continued to ramp up activity, submitting plans for two new developments totalling more than 130 homes in the coastal Moray village of Ardersier.

The first application of 117 private and affordable homes covers an area of land off Nairn Road. The private homes comprise a mix of 87 flats, terraced and semi-detached homes surrounding a play park and open space.

The remaining 30 homes will be allocated for affordable housing in partnership with a local housing association.

The second, smaller application is for 16 affordable homes located just off Station Road. The proposals, which will be undertaken in partnership with a local housing association, will transform the former railway station into new bungalows.

Springfield’s group partnership managing director, Tom Leggeat, said: “Ardersier is a great place – it’s a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Inverness.

“The development will bring jobs and opportunities for youngsters, support shops and businesses and offer a mix of new private and affordable homes in the area.

“We had great attendance and feedback from locals when we unveiled our plans at the community consultation recently. The larger development is a natural expansion of the existing village and has been designed with this in mind.” 0 Tom Leggeat: ‘short drive from bustle of Inverness’
