Lumloch View, Robroyston

Development Overview

Lumloch View is a major new build homes development by Taylor Wimpey West Scotland and Caledonian Properties, located on Cortmalaw Road in the growing suburban community of Robroyston, Glasgow (G33 1TG). The masterplan for this community-focused development comprises approximately 300 new homes, designed to integrate with the existing local area.

The development is currently in the detailed planning stage, having secured Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) and submitted an application for Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC). It aims to provide a diverse mix of housing to appeal to a wide range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families.

Property Details

Lumloch View will offer a varied selection of modern new build properties, ranging from two-bedroom starter homes up to spacious five-bedroom family houses. While specific house type names (e.g., The Andrew, The Maxwell) and floorplans are yet to be officially released for this phase, the properties will feature contemporary interiors and energy-efficient building specifications typical of a new build development.

Central to the Lumloch View proposal is the provision of extensive public open space and green infrastructure. This includes generous green networks, new pedestrian and cycle links, pocket parks, informal sports pitches, and an equipped play area. Furthermore, Taylor Wimpey has committed to transferring approximately five acres of land at Briarcroft to the community for development into a community space, including a garden, exercise area, and memorial.

Location Benefits and Connectivity

Robroyston is situated approximately 5 miles from Glasgow city centre. Lumloch View is well-placed for commuting and local amenities. The development benefits from proximity to the M80 motorway, providing efficient road links for drivers.

For public transport users, the Robroyston Park and Ride train station is located approximately 1.5 miles from the development. Train services from Robroyston offer frequent, rapid access into the city centre: the average journey time to Glasgow Queen Street station is just 10–12 minutes, and to Glasgow Central station approximately 25–27 minutes (requiring a change). The development’s green network connects directly to bus stops on Auchinairn Road and Brookfield Drive.

Local retail facilities are concentrated at the nearby Robroyston Retail Park, which includes a large supermarket (ASDA) and various other outlets. For families, the local school catchment includes Wallacewell Primary School and Smithycroft Secondary School. Developers have agreed to create new safe crossing points over Robroyston Road to improve pedestrian and cycle access to schools and local services.

Practical Information

The development is being delivered by Taylor Wimpey, a major UK housebuilder that holds a 5-star rating for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation, based on over 90% of customers stating they would recommend them. General builder reviews, however, suggest a mixed experience regarding long-term aftercare and site-specific build quality. Prospective buyers are advised to factor in a professional snagging survey.

Pricing and Availability: Due to the development being in the early stages of detailed planning, specific house prices are not currently released. For current pricing, reservation details, and specific house type releases (e.g., The Andrew, The Maxwell), interested parties must contact the Taylor Wimpey West Scotland sales team directly or register for updates.

Completion Status: PPiP has been secured, and AMSC has been submitted. The initial site preparation, including some essential tree removal, is underway. Completion dates are to be confirmed, dependent on the outcome of the detailed planning application.
