SCOTTISH affordable housebuilder Springfield Properties has been given planning consent for 100 new homes in North Lanarkshire.
The plans, approved by North Lanarkshire Council, will transform a 9.7 acre-site in Harthill into a mix of two, three and four-bedroom affordable homes.
The £13 million scheme supports the Scottish Government’s pledge to deliver 50,000 affordable homes by 2021, and adds to the 641 affordable homes Springfield Properties have already had approved for planning across Scotland this year.
Group partnerships managing director at Springfield, Tom Leggeat, said: “The new development is in a great location. It is close to the M8 so is particularly handy for those commuting to Glasgow, Edinburgh and neighbouring towns.
“The construction will bring job opportunities to Harthill and much needed, energy efficient homes that are modern and cheap to run.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
