Located on the former Stanfield Farm site, the development will deliver much-needed affordable homes to rent locally. The official commencement ceremony took place on Tuesday 20th August and was attended by members of the Association’s board of management, CHA staff and D&G councillors representing the Eastriggs area.

Invited guests included representatives from the project design team including Ashleigh, TCS Construction Consultants, Robert Potter & Partners and Asher Associates.

This landmark project, which commenced on the 5th of August 2024, marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, affordable housing in the Dumfries & Galloway Region. The development is set to offer a number of different house types and the new homes will be allocated from the Homes4DG Common Housing Register.

The site will deliver an impressive 74 homes, designed with modern living in mind. Here’s a breakdown of what will be available:

• 43 two-bedroom houses (suitable for 4 people)
• 9 three-bedroom houses (suitable for 6 people)
• 14 two-bedroom amenity bungalows (suitable for 4 people, designed for easy accessibility)
• 6 one-bedroom amenity bungalows (suitable for 2 people, designed for easy accessibility)
• 1 four-bedroom wheelchair-accessible house (suitable for 7 people, with ground-floor living)
• 1 five-bedroom house (suitable for 10 people)

This diverse mix of homes ensures that a wide range of families and individuals can be allocated a home.

Overall completion is scheduled for early 2026.
