Cala Management Limited has submitted “updated technical documents” to Renfrewshire Council to further progress planning for a site situated off Florish Road in Erskine. 

Cala is looking to develop a final phase of 57 new private homes on the land, together with much-needed affordable housing.  The site is situated adjacent to the soon to finish Gilchrist Gardens development in Erskine, where Cala has been actively delivering around 40 new homes per year for the last five years.

The proposed apartments will be built by Cala in partnership with Bridgewater Housing Association to provide “suitable and affordable elderly amenity housing, which will allow older tenants to reside independently with an element of support”.

The site has a minded to grant approval from Renfrewshire Council, secured by Stewart Milne Homes in 2022, subject to conditions and successful conclusion of a legal agreement.

The site was acquired by Cala Homes (West) in July 2025, following the initial applicant, Stewart Milne Homes, going into administration in January 2024.

Graham McNeil, land director at Cala Homes (West), said: “Gilchrist Gardens has proven to be a popular choice for homebuyers looking for a high-quality new home in Erskine. Naturally, we’re excited by the prospect of continuing our investment in new homes in the area, building on our recent success locally.

“Cala will be seeking to provide a diverse mix of new homes with a different architectural palette to give this phase of development a different look and feel, with the varied mix of house types creating multiple price points to ensure that we can appeal to as wide a spectrum of homebuyers as possible.

“We are especially looking forward to embedding much-needed affordable homes into the heart of Blyth Gardens which will only further enhance the vibrancy and community spirit that makes this part of Erskine such a special place to live.”

Upon committee approval, groundworks are expected to begin in Spring 2026, with the first homeowners expected to move in from Summer 2027.
