AROUND 600 new homes are planned on land at Dullatur Golf Club purchased by developer Hallam Land Management, it has emerged.
Hallam announced last week that plans to build family homes on land at Dullatur Golf Club, near Cumbernauld, were to be the subject of public consultation. This will take place on Wednesday, in an online format.
Asked by The Herald how many houses were proposed, a spokesman replied: “As the application will be for planning permission in principle, we do not have a definitive number established yet - this would be confirmed at the later detailed design stage). However we anticipate that it will be approximately 600 new homes accommodating private and affordable homes.”
Hallam, part of Henry Boot, said last week that it hopes "to deliver an exciting new residential development of family homes" on the land.

It declared then: "The development will include much-needed private housing and affordable housing as well as providing the local area with significant economic benefits. Funds generated from the development will be used by the golf club to enhance its existing facilities and sustain its long-term future."
The developer has formally submitted a proposal of application notice to North Lanarkshire Council, informing the local authority that it intends to submit a planning application for the development following a minimum 12-week consultation period.
Gary Smith, director of Hallam Land Management, said last week: "We're delighted to be giving the public the chance to have a say on our development proposals on the land at Dullatur Golf Club."

He added: "This exciting development provides the perfect opportunity to bring more family housing to the area and deliver economic benefits, such as construction jobs, to the local community. We are consulting extensively to ensure that that the public have an opportunity to input their views and shape our proposals. We encourage the community to attend and ask any questions they may have."
Hallam has noted the Scottish Government has suspended in-person public consultation events because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
An online consultation will take place between 11am and 7pm on May 12.
