The works principally comprise of the construction of a steel framed Community Care Facility and residential timber kit units, including all associated landscaping works, vehicular and pedestrian access routes.

The project is a ‘mixed use’ development of Housing, ‘technology enabled’ Housing and a local Community & Care Facility. The development consists of 27 houses and 18 flats (3 blocks of 6 units) for rent. Eight of these housing units and 12 of the flatted dwellings are ‘technology enabled’ as a supporting function for the Care Facility. The remaining housing (19 units) and flats (1 block of 6 units) will provide fully accessible mainstream housing for South Lanarkshire Council’s Housing Services.
