Springfield Properties has further growth in its sights with Kinross plans

Scottish housebuilder Springfield Properties is set to deliver 59 homes in Kinross after starting construction on a development in the Perthshire town.

The firm is delivering two, three and four-bedroom homes at the site with each property fitted with electric car charging cables, facilitating the easy installation of charge points, Springfield noted.

Located just off the M90, the development will offer easy access to Perth, Dundee, Stirling and Edinburgh.

The firm said the homes were expected to go on sale in the coming weeks.

Central area sales director Tricia Malek said: “This is the first time we’ve built in Kinross. [We have taken] the decision to include charging cables in our homes, so if a Springfield customer opts for an electric car, it’ll be much easier and far less intrusive for a charging point to be installed.”

The construction of the development will bring new jobs to the area, support local suppliers and create work for nearby trades, the firm added.

Earlier this week, Springfield Properties said it was submitting plans for two 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 application is for 16 affordable homes just off Station Road. The proposals – in partnership with a local housing association – will transform the former railway station into new bungalows.
