Planning Approval Obtained for First Central Belt Development in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire

Luxury homebuilder, Bancon Homes is pleased to announce that it will expand its operations into the Central Belt of Scotland for the first time with an exclusive development of four and five bedroom homes in Strathaven. 

Under planning permission granted by South Lanarkshire Council, the company’s new “Overton Gardens” development will be located off Glassford Road and consist of 37 bespoke detached homes.  These will range in style and design, with an emphasis on the use of sustainable materials and the provision of high-quality landscaping throughout.   

Overton Gardens is the next phase in the approved East Overton masterplan.  It will be the first time Bancon Homes has created a development outside the North East of Scotland where it has been operating very successfully for over 40 years and is currently building new homes in Aberdeen, Mintlaw and Banchory.

Earlier this month the company announced that it had also obtained planning permission for 208 homes at its Maidencraig South site in Aberdeen.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Allan Clow, Managing Director of Bancon Homes said:  “We are delighted that South Lanarkshire Council has approved our planning application for Overton Gardens, and are very much looking forward to introducing a new group of homebuyers to our stunning homes and the beautiful town of Strathaven.

“As businesses continue to face the current challenges, housebuilding has a major role to play in supporting the Scottish economy and helping us through these difficult times. Bancon Homes is pleased to make its own contribution to this as we look to grow our business.”

Over the years, Bancon Homes has built up a strong reputation for the quality of its workmanship and its design led approach. Last year its Aspire Mews and Monument View developments were finalists in the Homes for Scotland Awards and its Aspire House development is currently a finalist in the Renovation of the Year category of the Scottish Home Awards, the winner of which will be announced later this year.

Excellent customer service is at the heart of the company’s ethos and for the past three years Bancon Homes has won one of the building industry's highest accolades for customer service, The In-House Gold Award for Customer Satisfaction. In addition to this, the company was given an Outstanding Award for the second year in a row, one of only a select number of housebuilders in the UK to achieve this.  These awards are directly influenced by home buyers and their level of customer satisfaction.
