PLANS to build more than 200 homes in Paisley have been approved by council chiefs.
Taylor Wimpey West Scotland has secured detailed planning consent for 210 new properties on land near Hawkhead Road.
A range of two, three and four-bedroom homes, in a variety of styles, will be built on the 19.5-acre site.
Developers have said an extensive area of open green space will be retained and there will be easy access to the White Cart Water walkways and cycle routes.
As part of an agreement with Renfrewshire Council, Taylor Wimpey will also make a contribution towards £400,000 for community facilities and £250,000 for education.
Stephen Andrew, technical director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “We are delighted to confirm that detailed planning consent has been granted for our land off Hawkhead Road.
“As well as an impressive range of new homes, our development will provide a range of economic benefits for the local area, which includes supporting over 160 jobs per year of construction, as well as the attraction of new customers to local businesses.”
