Taylor Wimpey West Scotland has confirmed that Renfrewshire Council has granted Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC) planning permission for the company's final residential development within the Dargavel Village masterplan in Bishopton.

Situated off Arrochar Drive, the approved proposals will deliver 315 new homes. This total features 257 properties from Taylor Wimpey's new national house type range alongside 58 homes from its exclusive Caledonian Collection. The development will provide a diverse mix of three, four, and five-bedroom houses designed to accommodate various buyers, including first-time homeowners and growing families.

The project ensures a seamless continuation of activity for the homebuilder within Dargavel Village. Subject to final technical permissions, construction works are expected to begin in the coming months.
