The development site extends to 18 hectares (44.5 acres) or thereby and is located in the southern part of Cumbernauld adjacent to the Abronhill housing area.

The extended site has consent for 600 units with the phases currently for sale capable of accommodating up to 300 units. . Site Boundaries and Description. . The Mid Forest area is located immediately south of and adjacent to the existing built up area of Cumbernauld in particular the Abronhill neighbourhood. The area is separated from the urban area of Abronhill to the north by a local distributor road, Forest Road. The site is also bounded to the south east and west by Palacerigg Country Park, the Luggiebank Scottish Wildlife Trust wildlife reserves and Forest Wood respectively. . Topographically, the Mid Forest area sits on part of the ridge that runs south west to north east. The ridge slope is approximately 1:9 running south from Forest Road. The slope flattens our slightly as it reaches further south at a 150m contour line, where it forms the edge of a plateau which eventually runs into the Slamannan Plateau area. . The majority of the site comprises agricultural fields, largely used for seasonal grazing by Mid Forest Farm. There are also several groupings of mature trees within the site and a disused kick about pitch. Mid Forest farm is located approximately centrally on the northwest boundary, it is accessed by a short section of single track road, and comprises a farm steading with several agricultural sheds and buildings clustered around it. The site has always been used for agriculture, with some industrial uses at the periphery. The site was identified as a potential development site for housing when Cumbernauld was originally developed by Cumbernauld Development Corporation as a growth area for Abronhill. At this time, underpasses were constructed to allow pedestrian access to the Mid Forest development area, but the town path network was not extended into the development site. The majority of the site is within North Lanarkshire Council's ownership, with the exception of a small agricultural holding in private ownership which does not form part of the site for sale. Offers are invited for this site. Any bid figure should be quoted exclusive of value added tax (VAT). The seller has waived exemption from VAT.
