Taylor Wimpey secures planning consent for new homes in Polmont
Construction work has started on Taylor Wimpey West Scotland’s development of new homes in Polmont after an Approval in Matters Specified (AMSC) detailed planning consent was secured from Falkirk Council.
The approved plans for The Laurels at Lathallan Grange will deliver 155 new homes on land off Main Street, comprising 116 private properties and 39 affordable homes in a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom styles. This milestone follows the site’s earlier Planning Permission in Principle.
The Laurels at Lathallan Grange forms part of a wider masterplan that will eventually deliver around 500 homes, with 25% designated as affordable housing. It will also include a central park, wetland area, and a network of green spaces, play areas, and recreational facilities designed to promote wellbeing and biodiversity.
A Ground Source Heat Network is planned to provide low-carbon heating across the site, alongside enhancements such as hedgehog highways, bug hotels, bird boxes, and bee bricks to support local wildlife.
Martin Findlay, technical director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “Securing detailed planning consent is a major milestone in our journey to deliver a sustainable and well-connected new neighbourhood in Polmont. We’re proud to be investing in the local area, and with construction now underway, we are looking forward to bringing our vision to life.”
