To promote eco-diversity, bird and bat boxes will be installed for each new building and an existing wild-flower meadow within the development will also be retained.

This project marks the first time The JR Group has worked with Fife Housing Group – which is one of the largest independent housing associations in the east of Scotland with approximately 2,500 properties in Fife and an annual turnover of over £12.7 million.

Andrew Dallas, projects director at The JR Group, said: “These new homes are high quality and have a strong sustainability focus, which reflects more accurately how we live today and how we will live in the future.
