The development in East Lothian, which has been delivered by Cruden Homes and Places for People was commended for its place-making, design and its input towards developing a new community within a key coastal area of Scotland. 

The development, which is located in Longniddry, has been designed to fit well within the existing village, merging traditionally-inspired homes and modern interiors alongside green areas, travel connections and good access to nearby amenities. This includes access to East Lothian’s coastline and a direct railway connection to Edinburgh city centre.

The award comes amid ongoing demand for homes at Longniddry Village. The location has seen demand from new residents such as first-time buyers, growing families and those looking to downsize. 

Hazel Davies, sales and marketing director at Cruden Homes, said: “This success is a true reflection of the aspirational vision of the landowners, Wemyss & March Estates, and the commitment that has gone into creating the development by all involved.

“From the outset, the aim was to create a place that sits naturally within the existing village while delivering high-quality homes and a strong sense of community. The response from buyers has been incredibly positive and we’re proud to see that recognised through this award.

“Longniddry Village demonstrates the value of partnership-led placemaking and what can be achieved when quality, design and long-term community creation are prioritised from the very beginning.”
