Plans for 100 new homes in a historic Scottish village have been brought forward.
Members of the community are invited to attend a consultation event to hear more about the proposals.
Cala Homes (West) is asking the Lochwinnoch community to attend the event, “where they can learn more about proposals to create a new residential development at Burnfoot Road and share their feedback”.
Cala hopes to deliver 100 "much needed" new homes including 75 for private sale, comprised of three-bedroom terraced and four- and five-bedroom detached properties. A further 25 affordable homes would complement the housing mix, creating an accessible development attractive to a variety of residents within the community.

The site is allocated for housing within the Renfrewshire local development plan.
Cala said it has designed the development "to feature generous green space", working with an expert project team.
It will also include a play area, a village green and active travel routes connecting to the wider community.
Gillian Hessett, land manager at Cala Homes, said: "We’re really looking forward to welcoming local people to learn more about our exciting proposals for new housing in Lochwinnoch that will importantly boost the number of private and affordable homes available in the area.
"The event is an opportunity for attendees to meet with our expert project team, ask questions and share their feedback that will be used to refine proposals as we progress towards submission of a planning application to Renfrewshire Council.”
The first of two public consultation events will be held on September 12 between 1-7pm at the McKillop Institute, Main Street, Lochwinnoch.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
