Through the Home+ programme, the council is working towards delivering more than 1,000 additional homes by March 2027.

By the end of September 2026, 742 additional homes have been delivered, helping to provide more affordable housing in communities across South Lanarkshire.

Recent additions include 17 new homes at Camas Walk in Cambuslang built in partnership with Dawn Homes, and 56 new homes built by Bellway Homes at Landsdale in Jackton. These developments offer a range of housing options to suit different households, including cottage flats and family homes with two, three and four bedrooms. Some homes have been specially designed with features such as ground-floor bedrooms and shower rooms to support tenants who have mobility or accessibility needs.

Construction is also continuing across five other sites with new homes anticipated to be ready by spring 2027.

This includes Watson Street in Larkhall, Backmuir Road and Reid Street in Hamilton and  Cairnswell Avenue in Cambuslang. Together, these developments will provide a further 111 council homes on former brownfield sites, bringing vacant land back into use and helping to meet housing need. Their central locations mean tenants will have easy access to shops, services, public transport and other local amenities.

At Eaglesham View in Jackton, a further 40 new council homes are under construction by Barratt Homes and at the former University of West of Scotland site in Hamilton, 36 new council homes are under construction by Keepmoat Homes.

In the coming weeks, new flatted developments suitable for older people or those with mobility needs will start at Glasgow Road, Strathaven and Kittoch Street, East Kilbride.

All new council homes are being built to modern standards and include energy-efficient features designed to help reduce energy use and lower household running costs. Homes are being fitted with air source heat pumps, which provide low-carbon heating, as well as fire suppression systems and electric vehicle charging points.

Alongside building new homes, the council continues to buy existing homes in areas where demand for housing is high through its Market Purchase Scheme.

Buying former council homes helps increase the number of properties available for rent in established communities. It also allows the council to take a greater role in managing and improving mixed-tenure blocks, benefiting both council tenants and homeowners living within them.

Stephen Gibson, Executive Director of Housing and Technical Resources said: “This is an exciting time for South Lanarkshire’s Home+ programme. Despite challenging market conditions, the Council continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering additional homes to help meet increasing housing need across South Lanarkshire”

The councils Affordable Housing Supply Programme is funded jointly by the council and Scottish Government.
