Proposed housing site at Easter Langlee, Galashiels
This is part of a 65 acre site on the eastern outskirts of Galashiels that will see 493 new houses built if planning permission is granted to Persimmon Homes who wish to develop the site in 2 phases. The land has been zoned for housing in the Scottish Borders Council Finalised Local Plan (although for a maximum of 300 housing units) and the development would increase the population of Galashiels by almost 2000 and overtake Hawick as the largest town in the Scottish Borders. The most up to date figures from the General Register Office for Scotland has Hawick with 14,300 residents and Galashiels with 13,900. The housing in the background is at Coopersknowe to the west of the C77 Langshaw road.

Farmland at Easter Langlee, Galashiels
A planning application was lodged with Scottish Borders Council in 2007 by Persimmon Homes to erect 118 new houses (phase 1) on this farmland. In a phase 2 development, more houses were planned to the east of this area, but since the arrival of the credit crunch nothing has happened on site and advertising signs that were erected by the company were taken down a long time ago.
