en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK developer Whiteburn Projects, in partnership with Scottish Borders Housing Association, has launched the Allanbank development in Lauder, planning to deliver 27 affordable homes. These homes range from one-bedroom bungalows to four-bedroom family houses, employing a uniform design to integrate into the master plan. This ensures consistency in design quality and materials with private housing, fostering the creation of an inclusive community.

As part of the community benefits, the project's infrastructure works are scheduled to commence in March 2026, with the first homes expected to be available for occupancy by late summer or early autumn 2027. Eve McCurrich, Managing Director of Whiteburn Projects, stated: "Scottish Borders Housing Association has been involved from the early stages of the project, supporting the planning process. This collaborative approach contributes to the overall development. We are delighted to move into the construction phase, delivering much-needed affordable housing in Lauder while also launching private home sales."

Julia Mulloy, Chief Executive of Scottish Borders Housing Association, added: "The Allanbank project will address local housing needs in Lauder. We have worked closely with Whiteburn to ensure the development meets community requirements. As one of the first Section 75 agreements, this project highlights the importance of including affordable and mid-market rental housing alongside homes for sale to create balanced, sustainable communities. Thanks are due to Scottish Borders Council and the Scottish Government for their support, enabling these high-quality, energy-efficient homes to progress."
