Councillor Ross Clark (Larkhall) said: “I’d just like to welcome this.
“The inclusion of the homes for social rent are very much needed and it is also good to hear that the applicants have worked well with the council, its very nice to see that.”
Councillor Maureen Devlin (Bothwell and Uddingston), also praised the plans but asked what amenities will be there for future residents.
She said: “I really am glad to see this coming forward. With the number of houses going to young families, I just want to know is the likes of a play park included?”
Planning officials confirmed that there will be play on site as well as open green space.
