The Cala Homes development, to be known as Blyth Gardens, will provide a "high-quality mix of 57 private houses alongside 18 much-needed affordable apartments, making an important contribution to meeting local housing demand".
Renfrewshire Council has signed off the plans, subject to conditions, despite 10 objections from locals.
Located on land situated off Florish Road roundabout, plans feature a "well-balanced mix of attractive, energy-efficient homes" including three-bedroom terraced houses, three- and four-bedroom townhouses, and four- and five-bedroom detached properties.
This "carefully considered range" will be complemented by one- and two-bedroom affordable apartments, ensuring a variety of housing options suited to first-time buyers, growing families, and those looking to downsize.
The 18 affordable apartments have been specifically designed as elderly amenity housing, enabling older residents to live independently while benefiting from an appropriate level of support.

Documents state that "the development plans include generous green space including the scenic Sandieland Woodland to the south of the site, as well as a dedicated children’s play area".
The development will also "incorporate a range of features designed to enhance biodiversity and support local wildlife".
Guided by" expert ecologists", the plans include bat roosting and bird nesting features, hedgehog-friendly fencing, and invertebrate bricks to support bees and other insects, helping to protect and encourage native species throughout the site.
In an assessment of the plans the council said: " The proposal accords with the provisions of the Development Plan and there were no material considerations which outweighed the presumption in favour of development according with the Development Plan."
However, the development will not be able to commence until a site investigation report - characterising the nature and extent of any soil, water and
gas contamination within the site - is carried out.
The site was previously earmarked for development by Stewart Milne Homes before the company went busy in January 2024.
