Housing

North Lanarkshire has one of the most ambitious affordable housebuilding programmes in Scotland with a commitment to deliver 5,000 new affordable homes by 2035. The Local Development Plan seeks to secure on-site provision of affordable housing at the rate of 20% for all new housing developments with a capacity of 25 or more homes. Importantly, proposals brought forward by Hallam Land and Dullatur Golf Club will deliver up to 650 new homes, including a 25% affordable housing allocation that will result in the delivery of 163 affordable homes. This is 5% higher than the required number of affordable homes for a development of this size as we recognise the continued demand within the region.

Importantly, the masterplan also aligns with North Lanarkshire Council’s Local Housing Strategy 2021 – 2026 which aims to maximise the provision of affordable housing to meet a range of needs,  creating vibrant, attractive, and sustainable communities. It also contributes to The Scottish Government’s Housing to 2040 vision which aims to deliver 100,000 new affordable homes by 2031/32.

Given the current stage in the planning process, no detail on the housing design or specification has been developed. Should planning permission in principle from North Lanarkshire Council be obtained, the housing developer will take forward the detail and specification of the proposed homes and will submit a detailed planning application to the local authority. This will take into consideration the specific housing needs of the community and provide a selection of house types that will be attractive to a range of demographics.
