Located off Arrochar Drive, the approved plans will deliver 315 new homes, including 257 from Taylor Wimpey’s new national range of house types and 58 homes from its exclusive Caledonian Collection. The development will offer a diverse mix of three, four and five-bedroom homes designed to meet the needs of a wide range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families.

Providing a seamless continuation of activity for the homebuilder in Dargavel Village, subject to final technical permissions being agreed, construction is expected to begin in the next few months.

Key features of the approved development include:

• A variety of house types and styles, including semi-detached and detached homes.
• A sustainable heating solution, with every home fitted with an Air Source Heat Pump.
• Enhanced biodiversity measures such as hedgehog highways, bug hotels, bird boxes and bee bricks.
• Safe and accessible footpath links throughout the development, connecting to the wider Dargavel Village masterplan, with Arrochar Drive transitioning from Craigton Drive.
• Excellent connectivity to local amenities, including the recently opened 45-acre Central Park and the vibrant new village centre.
• Convenient transport links, including park-and-ride access at Bishopton Train Station and proximity to the new Bishopton M8 motorway junction.

Martin Findlay, technical director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “We are delighted that our AMSC application has been approved, marking an important milestone and reflecting over 15 years of commitment to this new and vibrant Renfrewshire community since the first Planning Permission in Principle was granted in 2011. We are incredibly proud of our key role in delivering the Dargavel Village masterplan.

“This final development will complete our contribution with a well-connected, sustainable community that provides high-quality new homes while enhancing the local environment and supporting long-term growth. We look forward to starting construction in the coming months and continuing our positive relationship with Renfrewshire Council and the local community.”
