Planning application approved - Kirkton Farm, Cardross

Planning application approved

Cala Homes (West) continues to promote the delivery of the land at Kirkton Farm in Cardross that is allocated for housing development by Argyll and Bute Council.

Cala is still committed to building 118 much needed homes, ranging from one-bedroom cottage flats to five-bedroom family homes, which includes 25% for Dunbritton Housing Association, at the site on the northern edge of the town between Darleith Road and Barrs Road. 

The new development, Darleigh Meadows, will provide dedicated on-site parking for homeowners and guests, as well as generous provision of high quality landscaping and open space - including a village green and play park. The landscaping and green spaces on the site will help to improve local biodiversity for residents and the wider community to enjoy.

Cala is committed to creating sustainable developments that serve the needs of homebuyers and provide local benefit through employment, council tax contributions and economic value.

In addition to this, as part of our Community Pledge initiative, Cala will seek to work with local charities and organisations to address genuine local needs within the Cardross community through bespoke projects, such as donations, volunteering time, activities, delivering school programmes and much more.

Ongoing updates – October 2025

Our planning application (reference 25/00814/AMSC) was approved on 14 October 2025.  This was an application made to Argyll and Bute council to consolidate previous approvals, combining our successful planning appeal granted by the Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) of the Scottish Government on 31 March 2025 (Ref PPA-130-2093) together with our amendment to the wording of planning condition 4 (ref 24/02193/PP) which updated drawing references to ensure that the road improvements required by the condition are aligned with the Council’s aspirations. 

Cala are delighted with this positive progress, and we continue to work with Argyll and Bute council to secure the remaining necessary consents to facilitate this much needed housing development. 

We are currently targeting the start of the enabling works in 2026, with first residents welcomed in early 2027.
