Plans submitted for Bespoke Homes in East Lothian
C
ALA Homes has submitted carefully designed plans for a development of 36 homes in a popular East Lothian village. Following extensive engagement with local
residents and the Dirleton Village Association, the developer has sought to design the site in a manner that respects the village setting, with a host of unique, tailored design features. Designed by the internationally renowned firm
of architects JTP, the properties will range from three to five bedrooms, including a mix of semi- detached and detached properties. It will also include 10 two and three bedroom affordable homes, to suit those on the waiting list. Located to the south of Dirleton, on land
identified for housing in East Lothian Council’s Proposed Local Development Plan, a key element of the design is the outward looking nature of the 1.5 storey houses, which have been purposely designed for the site. Andrew Statham, land buyer with CALA
Homes (East), said: “We are delighted to be progressing with this exciting development that will complement Dirleton’s surrounds, with a modern design interpretation providing quality family housing. “It is over 10 years since CALA last developed
within the village, and on this occasion we have chosen to provide a variety of product, that is gen- erally smaller and can meet local demand.” Alan Stewart, partner at JTP Architects, com-
mented on the design: “With Dirleton being a conservation village, it is important that design is

seen to evolve from the local context. “The proposed housing takes design cues from
local buildings, while we have repeated the out- ward looking southern edge to the village. Set within a landscape edge incorporating open space and tree planting, we have ensured that the setting of Dirleton Castle is retained.
“We have also tried to minimise the impact
upon site neighbours, by exceeding set-back dis- tances and taking vehicular access from the main road.” Subject to securing planning permission,
CALA hope to be in a position to commence development in early 2017.
