Carrickstone Park, Cumbernauld, G68 0GA

On behalf of Scottish Enterprise, Savills are delighted to offer to the market the opportunity to acquire a prime residential site at Carrickstone in Cumbernauld.
The site is accessed off both Dullatur Road and Eastfield Road. The site is approximately 13 hectares (32.1 acres) and iis currently Greenfield development land. It gently slopes from Eastfield Road, down to Dullatur Golf Course and benefits from views of the golf course and beyond to the Campsie Fells/ Kilsyth Hills.
The site is bounded on its southern side by Eastfield Road which is the main distributor road for the local area. Dullatur Road bounds its eastern side, Dullatur Golf course to the north and a modern housing development built by Barratt Homes together with a nursing home forms the western boundary.
Planning
The site benefits from minded to grant planning permission in principle for residential development and a neighbourhood hub with vehicular accesses from Eastfield Road and Dullatur Road. Consent is subject to the completion of a S75 which requires formal agreement on the detail of a financial contribution to local primary school education provision. A Transport Assessment has been carried out on the basis of a 300 unit development and a planning condition features within the ‘Minded to Grant’ permission which limits the scale of development in that respect.
The North Lanarkshire Local Plan (2012) allocates the site for residential development with a housing capacity (estimate) of 262 units. There is no affordable housing requirement associated with the development either on or off site.
