Green light for 69 new homes at St Andrews West
Fife Council has granted planning permission for Braeburn, the next phase of the St Andrews West development.
The new phase will deliver 69 homes, ranging from one to four bedrooms, with construction scheduled to begin in March.
Braeburn has been carefully designed to reflect the overarching vision for St Andrews West, combining contemporary living with a strong sense of place, aligned with the character and setting of St Andrews. The development aims to create a thriving, multigenerational neighbourhood, offering a diverse mix of homes designed to suit a wide range of buyers, from apartments to large family homes.
Headon, a local, family-run property developer, said it is excited to bring forward this next stage of development.
Commenting on the consent, Joe Headon said: “We are delighted to have received planning permission for the next phase of development at St Andrews West. This marks a significant milestone in our decades-long commitment to creating a vibrant and sustainable community.
“Importantly, Braeburn will deliver much-needed new homes for St Andrews, while contributing positively to the local economy through investment, job creation, and support for local businesses. As we enter this new phase, we are looking to build upon the success and popularity of previous phases. We will continue to build with the same rigorous standards and long-lasting quality in design and architecture.”
Braeburn forms part of the wider St Andrews West Masterplan, a vision for St Andrews that will deliver new homes, offices, retail, green transport links, and employment opportunities.
With planning consent now in place, Headon is looking to begin construction in March, with the first 12 homes expected to be brought to market in the first quarter of 2026.
