Whitfield & Brown delivered the Fairlie development in Skelmersdale for Tawd Valley Developments, working closely with West Lancashire Borough Council to deliver a high quality mixed‑tenure housing scheme that supports local regeneration and long‑term community need.
The development forms part of a wider housing programme focused on providing modern, sustainable and affordable homes that respond to changing demographic requirements. Fairlie delivers a well‑balanced mix of two storey houses, bungalows and apartments, designed with robust materials, carefully considered layouts and a strong emphasis on quality and durability.
Sustainable and future‑focused design
Sustainability was a fundamental consideration throughout the Fairlie scheme. The homes were designed in alignment with Future Homes Standard principles and incorporate a range of energy efficient features including enhanced insulation, A‑rated double glazing and electric vehicle charging provision.
Heating and building fabric solutions were carefully selected to reduce energy consumption and support lower long‑term living costs for residents, contributing to improved comfort, affordability and environmental performance.
Delivering regeneration through partnership
Fairlie was delivered as part of a broader regeneration vision for West Lancashire, with Whitfield & Brown working collaboratively with the client, local authority and design team from early stages through to completion. This partnership‑led approach ensured the development responded positively to its surroundings while meeting planning, technical and community aspirations.
The scheme has contributed to the creation of a new neighbourhood within Skelmersdale, providing high quality homes for local families and helping to strengthen long‑term community resilience and wellbeing.
Community impact
The Fairlie development provides a meaningful addition to the local housing supply, supporting a diverse range of residents through its mixed‑tenure approach. By combining sustainable construction methods, future‑focused design and a strong sense of place, the scheme delivers lasting social and economic value for the area.
Fairlie stands as a strong example of Whitfield & Brown’s experience in delivering residential‑led regeneration schemes through collaboration, quality driven delivery and a clear commitment to building communities that endure.
