Blindwells

Blindwells combines living in an idyllic location with ease of access to Edinburgh city centre and key transport links, making it one of Scotland’s most eagerly anticipated developments. In 2017, site owners Hargreaves Land successfully secured planning consent for more than 1,600 new homes at Blindwells. Proposals include social housing, education facilities, a healthcare hub, local retail outlets and many other services needed for a new community. The master plan for the development provides an integrated and creative solution for an area which has already been identified for new homes, in the East Lothian Local Plan. The primary objectives of the project are to: Provide appropriate physical environments to support strong communities. Support a rich and pleasurable quality of life for inhabitants and visitors. Connect people and places by providing ease of movement within, and through developments. Create places of distinction and enduring quality. This is a new opportunity for East Lothian that will bring jobs and considerable inward investment to the area, while also being a great place to call home.
