About Ravenscraig

Ravenscraig, located in North Lanarkshire just 1.5 miles northeast of central Motherwell, has transformed from the site of the once-dominant Ravenscraig steelworks—western Europe's largest hot strip steel mill before its closure in 1992—into a thriving housing development. Following over two decades of dereliction, the area has seen significant redevelopment since the 2010s, with ongoing construction of new homes and amenities, supported by Wilson Bowden Developments Ltd, Scottish Enterprise, and Tata Steel Europe. This revitalization presents numerous opportunities for planning applications as the community continues to evolve.
