Derelict land on Duns road in Coldstream is earmarked to bring much needed affordable new homes to the local area and help address the housing emergency that has been declared right across Scotland. Eildon Housing are withdrawing a previous planning application following their ongoing discussions with the local community and Scottish Borders Council. A new planning application will be resubmitted early Summer 2025 with revised design proposals

Nile Istephan, Eildon’s Chief Executive said “It is extremely important to us that we provide housing that is suitable and meets the needs of the local communities we serve across the Scottish Borders. We welcome feedback on our proposed housing developments and as part of the planning application process, there will be two public consultations prior to new plans being resubmitted. Following discussion with Scottish Borders Council and feedback from the local community, we have decided to revisit our plans to ensure we strike a balance in providing the right homes for the area and regenerating this site with sound placemaking principles.

More details on the public consultations with be communicated through Scottish Borders Council in due course.
