Detailed plans have been approved for new housing at Heartlands near Whitburn.

Taylor Wimpey East Scotland has secured the consent from West Lothian Council for 122 new homes through the developmen­t of land off Cults Road in Whitburn – part of the multi-million pound developmen­t.

The Heartlands masterplan has plans for 2000 new homes, over 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, as well as retail and leisure facilities that are all set in the West Lothian countrysid­e.

This phase of Taylor Wimpey at Heartlands is a major investment in the local area by the company, and this developmen­t will deliver a range of two, three, and four bedroom homes in a variety of styles and sizes to appeal to a wide range of customers.

Pauline Mills, land and planning director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds: “We are delighted to confirm that we have secured a detailed planning consent for the developmen­t of land off Cults Road in Whitburn, which signals our return to the popular and impressive multi- million pound Heartlands developmen­t. As well as an impressive range of new homes, our next phase of new homes at Heartlands will provide a range of economic benefits for the local West Lothian area, which includes supporting over 160 jobs per year of constructi­on, as well as the attraction of new customers to local businesses.

“This decision marks our commitment, investment and strong track record of delivering excellent quality developmen­ts of family homes across the local area, and follows our first phase of homes at Heartlands which proved very popular with a range of buyers.

“We expect that work will begin on-site later this year, and the first new homes will go on sale early next year.”
