HOUSEBUILDERS behind a controversial bid to develop 75 homes on greenbelt land in Kilmacolm insist their estate would be eco-friendly.
Mactaggart & Mickel want to build in Quarry Drive and say the properties would be partly powered by renewable energy sources.
Under their blueprint, the site would not be connected to the national gas network.
The company say it would be 'fossil free' in advance of the Scottish Government's requirement that gas central heating is banned from all newly built houses by 2025.
The developers have submitted an outline planning application to Inverclyde Council for the project and say that they will continue to encourage people in the village to have their say on the plans.
