en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK-based Cala Homes (West), in partnership with Helensburgh Golf Club and Dunbritton Housing Association, has submitted a new residential development plan to planning authorities. The residential development plan proposes building 145 homes on nearly 20 acres of land near East Abercrombie Street, with 25% designated as affordable housing, to be owned and managed by Dunbritton Housing Association.
The residential development plan brings together the expertise of three parties, aiming to simultaneously meet housing needs and community priorities. Cala Homes' proposal includes a carefully considered mix of three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes, alongside affordable housing to support local housing needs. Sustainability is a key focus of the residential development project, with all homes designed to be energy-efficient and gas-free, incorporating low-carbon technologies such as air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points. The residential development project will also include green spaces, active travel connections, and a community play park.
The partnership model will bring reinvestment to Helensburgh Golf Club, supporting facility upgrades including a new clubhouse. Founded in 1893 and designed by golf course architect James Braid, the club has been a cornerstone of the community for over 130 years. As a registered Community Amateur Sports Club, it plays an important role in promoting accessibility and inclusivity.
Gillian Hessett, Land Manager at Cala Homes (West), said: "This proposal reflects a thoughtful, collaborative approach to delivering high-quality homes and modernised facilities, including a new clubhouse for Helensburgh Golf Club. By combining private and affordable homes with meaningful investment in a cherished community asset, we believe this represents a positive and unique residential development opportunity for Helensburgh."
A spokesperson for Helensburgh Golf Club stated: "We recognise the importance of taking a long-term strategic view to ensure the club's continued prosperity for the future. This partnership represents a meaningful opportunity to secure the investment needed to modernise our facilities and create a more inclusive and accessible club for the wider community."
Alan Murphy, Chief Executive of Dunbritton Housing Association, said: "Delivering high-quality social and affordable housing within balanced, mixed-tenure residential developments is key to achieving sustainable communities. Our plans will help address local housing need in Helensburgh."
The local community can attend two community consultation events: on 14th May and 18th June, from 3pm to 7pm, both held at Helensburgh Golf Club.
