The South East Regional Delivery Alliance (SE-RDA) has confirmed that its first bundle of projects, totalling 109 affordable homes, is set to enter construction in early 2026. The announcement was made on Monday 1 December 2025.
Originally developed under the Edinburgh Home Demonstrator, the schemes in Wallyford, East Lothian, and Burdiehouse, Edinburgh, were chosen from a pool of 12 locations assessed through a collaborative feasibility exercise.
A single design team evaluated all 12 sites, creating efficiencies through back-to-back reviews and the use of SE-RDA’s standard flat and house typologies.
Following the feasibility stage, CCG (Scotland) led the team through pre-construction, with both the Wallyford and Burdiehouse projects securing Planning Permission within a fortnight of each other.
The design team is now progressing Building Warrant approvals and finalising tender costs. SE-RDA expects construction of the 109 houses and flats to begin in early 2026.
Paul Dodd, senior associate director at the Scottish Futures Trust, which is an SE-RDA partner, said: “Bundle 1 represents an important milestone for the South East Regional Delivery Alliance. By working collaboratively and leveraging shared expertise across multiple sites, we are delivering high-quality, affordable homes more efficiently than ever before. We look forward to breaking ground on these projects next year and continuing to expand affordable housing across the region.”
CCG (Scotland) Managing Director, David Wylie, said: “CCG is a proud partner of the SE-RDA. Our involvement dates back to 2020, when we delivered the first pilot project of what was then known as the Edinburgh Home Demonstrator. We are now pleased to support Bundle 1, where our work will play a key role in meeting local housing needs in two prominent towns across two major local authorities.”
These initial projects highlight SE-RDA’s collaborative, innovative approach to housing delivery and pave the way for future developments across the South East region.
