This marks Briar’s first development in Fife, with plans to deliver 123 high-quality new homes for sale, comprising a mix of three-, four-, and five-bedroom properties on the village’s eastern edge, north of Levern Road. An additional 14 homes for social rent will also be delivered on behalf of Fife Council to support local housing needs.

Briar Homes’ expansion into Fife follows a £7.3 million funding package secured from Bank of Scotland and Housing Growth Partnership (HGP) in April 2024, supporting the creation of 310 new, energy-efficient homes across several Scottish sites, including upcoming developments in Barrhead, Gladsmuir and Kennoway.

Paul Kelly, managing director of Briar Homes Ltd, said: “It’s great to secure planning at Kennoway which will enable works to begin on site over the coming months. Fife is an area in crucial need of homes so we anticipate a healthy demand for these homes from first time buyers and families alike.”

Groundworks are due to commence in October 2025, with the sales launch of the first phase set to follow shortly after.
