A former care home in Larkhall is to be demolished and replaced by 19 houses as part of a drive by South Lanarkshire Council to increase the supply of affordable properties in the area.

The former McWhirter House on Raploch Street is to be demolished and replaced by a mixed tenure build comprising detached homes, terraced houses and cottage flats opposite Larkhall Thistle FC.

In a statement, the local authority wrote: "The site has been designed with existing context in mind. Due to the residential make-up of surrounding areas, it lends itself to a successful social housing development.

"The available space has been adequately populated, while still maintaining the landscaped appeal of the current site and creating a welcoming space for residents and locals alike. The housing mix creates a dynamic community with a variety of tenants benefitting from the development."

Finished in brick and contrasting render the homes will be set among retained trees.

The street with both sides facing the back gardens lined with fences, parking and SLOAP at the turning is going to be a belter.

Plaudits to the designers.
