MILLER Homes is to launch 14 new developments that will bring almost 1700 new houses across Scotland this year.
The firm said its 2019 homes package is significant because of its size, its geographical spread and its knock-on employment effect, supporting around 6,700 jobs across sectors.
It brings “much-needed” housing to communities as far north as Dundee as well as reaching across the central belt, with homes planned for Glasgow and the west and Edinburgh and the Lothians, Miller said.

The push also includes its first development in Clydebank, at a former brownfield site called Braidfield, which will be a new community of 88 three and four bedroom family homes.
Other examples include 60 homes at Maidenhill in Newton Mearns. Its first new development of the year, Bothwellbank, in Bothwell, will bring 99 homes.
Plans are also in place for a new 65-home development in Bellshill.
Peter Thomson, of Miller Homes Scotland, above, said: “Demand for new homes is strong with buyers looking for high quality, sustainable, well thought out properties that can adapt to a family’s changing needs.”
Mr Thomson added: “We have an extremely rigorous approach to land selection which has allowed us to secure prime spots in existing communities with good amenities and transport links which are also crucial to today’s buyers.”
In Moodiesburn182 homes are scheduled, and in Paisley work will begin on 234 new properties at the Hawkhead development.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
