The development is being led by CCG (Scotland) with multi-utility support from Arc-Tech MU on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council, and will be made up of 4 x 3 bedroom homes; 1 x 4 bedroom bungalow (wheelchair); 1 x 2 bedroom bungalow (wheelchair); 1 x 1 bedroom cottage flat (wheelchair); 8 x 2 bedroom bungalow (amenity); 9 x 2 bedroom cottage flat (amenity) and 2 x 1 Bedroom cottage flat (amenity).
Each amenity plot includes special design features or access to help tenants live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
North Lanarkshire Council Housing Convenor, Councillor McPake, said: “We continue to make significant progress delivering our new supply programme. We’ve completed 1,629 homes and have a further eight projects on site, which will deliver over 300 new homes. This site at Laburnum Road is situated in the heart of the local community with excellent transport links and amenities and will deliver modern homes for our tenants.
“Our new homes change the face of our local communities, provide jobs and training opportunities and boost the local economy. Providing sustainable housing for our tenants now and for generations to come is all part of our ambition to make North Lanarkshire the place to live.”
The development, which is expected to be completed by spring next year, costs £6.3m with Scottish Government grant funding of £2.7m.
Designed by Coltart Earley Architecture, the homes will utilise zero-emissions heating technology for space heating and hot water services. Thus, Arc-Tech Mu’s utility infrastructure will be dual-fuel, with electrical and water services installed on a turnkey basis.
Viewpark is set for completion in early 2027.
