The development, to be known as Blyth Gardens, will provide a high-quality mix of 57 private homes alongside 18 much-needed affordable apartments.

Located on land situated off Florish Road roundabout, plans feature three-bedroom terraced houses, three- and four-bedroom townhouses, and four- and five-bedroom detached properties. This carefully considered range will be complemented by one- and two-bedroom affordable apartments.

The 18 affordable apartments have been specifically designed as elderly amenity housing, enabling older residents to live independently while benefiting from an appropriate level of support.

Located on the eastern edge of the town, Blyth Gardens will include generous green space including the scenic Sandieland Woodland to the south of the site, as well as a dedicated children’s play area.

The development will also incorporate a range of features designed to enhance biodiversity and support local wildlife. Guided by expert ecologists, the plans include bat roosting and bird nesting features, hedgehog-friendly fencing, and invertebrate bricks to support bees and other insects, helping to protect and encourage native species throughout the site.

Blyth Gardens sits adjacent to Cala’s popular Gilchrist Gardens neighbourhood, where the homebuilder has delivered around 40 new homes per year for the past five years.

Graham McNeil, land director at Cala Homes (West), said: “Erskine is a well-connected and thriving community that continues to attract a diverse range of homebuyers, from families and young professionals to older residents. Building on the success of Gilchrist Gardens, we are pleased to be progressing with Blyth Gardens as we continue to invest in the region and deliver much-needed, high-quality homes.

“The development will offer a carefully considered mix of homes in a variety of sizes and price points, ensuring it appeals to a broad spectrum of buyers. Importantly, Blyth Gardens will also include affordable amenity housing for older people, helping to meet the growing local demand for accessible and suitable accommodation.”

Final approval remains subject to the conclusion of a Section 75 Agreement between Cala and Renfrewshire Council.

Groundworks are anticipated to begin in June 2026, with the first homeowners expected to move in from Summer 2027.
