Developers say there is demand for homes in the area.
Plans to expand housing in Lesmahagow have been unveiled, with developers seeking approval to build 19 new homes.
Modern Housing has submitted a planning statement backing the proposal on land at Brocketsbrae Road which would extend an existing development already under construction nearby.
According to the plans, the development would include a mix of house types, featuring both family homes and bungalows designed to create a cohesive and walkable neighbourhood. A small landscaped seating area is also proposed as a community space.
Developers say there is demand for homes in the area. Of the 26 properties approved in the earlier phase, several have been completed and occupied, while the remaining plots have reportedly secured buyer interest.
Modern Housing also points to wider community benefits, including a £39,000 contribution towards upgrades at nearby Brocketsbrae Park and improved pedestrian links to local green space.
If approved, the development would form part of South Lanarkshire’s housing land supply.
The application will now be considered by South Lanarkshire Council, with a determination deadline of May 30.
Neighbourhood and standard consultation for the development began on April 8.
