Scottish housebuilder Miller Homes has announced the purchase of land for a major new development.
Miller has made the acquisition for its planned Greenacres development, in Sauchie just outside Alloa, a 12.76-acre site which will feature 122 energy-efficient, new-build homes.
Construction is due to begin later this month.
Miller Homes noted this was its “first venture in this location”.

It said: “Located to the west of Sauchie and north of the River Forth, the site will feature a mix of four and five bedroom homes from Miller Homes' latest portfolio, making it an ideal location for families.
“With good local amenities and exceptional commuting options to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling (less than 10 miles away), and Dunfermline (15 miles east), the new community is anticipated to be highly sought after.”

Andrew McArthur, regional operations director for Miller Homes Scotland West, said: “This is our first development in Clackmannanshire. As more families seek semi-rural living options, areas like Sauchie, surrounded by some of Scotland’s most beautiful countryside, are becoming increasingly popular. Greenacres will lead the initial phase of the masterplan, ultimately providing hundreds of much-needed, new energy-efficient new homes for the area.”
Homes will be ready to “pre-reserve” this autumn, Miller Homes said.
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 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
