A developer behind plans to build up to 650 homes on land at a golf club, which will go before North Lanarkshire Council later this month, has declared there is an “undeniable need for new private and affordable homes” within the local authority area.

Developer Hallam Land said that it and Dullatur Golf Club are seeking to “enhance the North Lanarkshire region with a sustainable new neighbourhood that will create up to 650 much-needed homes and community facilities”.

It declared that the “investment will also future-proof Dullatur Golf Club, ensuring it remains an attractive destination for members and the wider community”.

Hallam Land added: “The proposals will be determined by full council on 27 November. Developed on land at Dullatur Golf Club, the plans address the spiralling demand for private and affordable homes within the area, as well as the need for an improved local road network and better active travel routes.”

“Importantly, 25% of the proposed housing, 163 homes, is affordable, in recognition of the local housing need. The demand for new community facilities was highlighted by local residents to Hallam Land through ongoing engagement exercises. This included the need for a new GP service, and in response, the applicants have incorporated this into the masterplan with land reserved for community use, located at the entrance of the site.

“Plans also include site-wide open space, parkland and recreational facilities, with sports pitches, play areas and a community garden. Almost 50% of the total development area will be retained and enhanced.”

Gary Smith, executive director at Hallam Land, said: “There is an undeniable need for new private and affordable homes within North Lanarkshire. Alongside Dullatur Golf Club, we have spent a significant amount of time engaging with local people and stakeholders to ensure that our masterplan directly responds to the needs of the community.

“By incorporating dedicated space for community facilities and active travel links, we have a great opportunity to create a truly connected neighbourhood where residents can walk or cycle to nearby amenities. We are now eager to take our vision forward that will improve the livelihoods of many local people and fundamentally aid economic growth.”
