Springfield Properties Submits Plans For New Midlothian Development

Construction News Image
Springfield Properties has submitted detailed plans to Midlothian Council for the first phase of its new Lingerwood development.

The proposed development, located off Stobhill Road near Newtongrange, will eventually include around 1,000 homes. The first phase will comprise 63 homes, ranging from two to five bedrooms.

The homes will feature energy-efficient designs, high-quality specifications, and a range of customisation options. The development will also include green spaces, nature trails, and improved local infrastructure.

Springfield Managing Director, Andy Curran, said: "We're pleased to be celebrating this milestone in the Lingerwood development journey as we submit proposals for the first 63, energy efficient homes for people in Midlothian. This is especially the case as it's the first application to feature our new house style range which will streamline our operations and offer the best choice for our customers.

"At Springfield, we are well versed in creating new sustainable communities and have already taken forward villages which prioritise green space, local facilities and supporting infrastructure in Dundee, Perth, Elgin and we're at the early stages for a new village on the outskirts of Stirling.

"As with these villages, Lingerwood has been thoughtfully designed to create a well-connected community, embracing the 20-minute neighbourhood model which promotes local, sustainable living and ensures people can access local amenities, such as shops and play parks, easily.

"Lingerwood will see the creation of a thriving village that can sustain the needs of local people for years to come. It will be a best-in-class example of placemaking and we are confident that it will complement nearby established residential areas that already have distinct identities.

"We have worked closely with Midlothian Council and local stakeholders on our plans and their feedback has been invaluable so far. We look forward to hearing the Council's thoughts on these designs in the coming months."
