A planned village, planned again.
East Renfrewshire Council’s Local Development Plan 3 proposes up to 660 new homes on three sites around Eaglesham. Find out what’s proposed, what it could mean for the village, and how to respond before Friday 22 January 2027.
- Proposed housing site (red line)
- The Orry, at the centre of the old village
- Main roads
- Burns and rivers
What's proposed
| Site | Homes (up to) | Area (ha) | Developer | Land now |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eaglesham North | 360 | 59.0 | Mactaggart & Mickel | Green belt |
| Holehouse Road | 100 | 5.1 | Robertson Homes | Green belt |
| Waulkers Loan | 200 | 9.2 | Taylor Wimpey | Green belt |
| Total | 660 | 73.3 |
Areas are measured from the council's LDP3 map data. Developers are as named in public reports. "Land now" is the land's status in the current plan (LDP2).
The big issues
Traffic and transport
How people from up to 660 new homes would get around, and what that means for the roads through the conservation village.
Wildlife and biodiversity
What lives on and around the proposed sites, and how the plan protects it.
Infrastructure
School places, health services, water and drainage: what would need to be in place before new homes are built.
