Eildon gets green light for further 69 new homes in Galashiels
The homes in High Buckholm form part of Eildon’s development programme to deliver more housing and care services for its communities in the Scottish Borders.
Eildon Housing has been granted planning permission to continue its partnership with Buckholm Ltd to deliver a further 69 homes at High Buckholm corner in Galashiels.
The first phase of the development consists of 11 family homes and will be completed in November 2021, with the second phase commencing later in 2021. The whole site will be completed by the Summer 2023.
All 80 homes are being built by the Peebles-based contractor, Brash Construction. The affordable homes will benefit from air source heat pumps which is part of Eildon's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
The 80 new homes at High Buckholm form a key part of Eildon’s development programme to deliver more housing and care services for its communities in the Scottish Borders. This is part of its strategy to invest more than £120 million in the Borders economy, bringing much-needed jobs, regeneration and 750 affordable new homes.
