The development will deliver a new primary link road between Strathaven Road and Meikle Earnock Road, an extensive footpath network including cycle paths with connections to the local core path network, extensive areas of new landscaping with play areas and biodiversity enhancements in addition to the much-needed homes for the local community.

Ahead of construction beginning on the new homes, the developers have completed the new roundabout on Strathaven Road which will be the primary access to the site. Work has also commenced on the new spine road which will connect Strathaven Road to Meikle Earnock Road, due to be completed later this year.

Homes within Cala’s development will include four- and five-bedroom detached houses whilst Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes will offer prospective homebuyers a variety of three- and four-bedroom homes.

Suzanne McElhiney, sales & marketing director at Cala Homes (West), said: “Cornhill Village is an exciting new community which Cala is proud to play a part in bringing to life.

“Our new development in the sought-after town of Hamilton is set to be an exciting addition to the West of Scotland. Now that construction is underway, we look forward to launching off-plan this summer with showhomes to follow later this year.

“We will be offering a collection of high specification four- and five-bedroom homes with a variety of housetypes, to suit all buyers.”

Estelle Sykes, sales director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes West Scotland, added: “We are thrilled to be bringing brand new quality homes to Hamilton, and to have commenced construction at Cornhill Village. Through close collaboration with the community, partners, and design teams, we’ve created an attractive and thoughtful development where residents can be proud to call home. We know there’s significant demand for new homes in the area, so we look forward to welcoming our first residents with the first completions expected later this year.”
