Urban regeneration specialist Kelvin Properties wants to convert the former Napiershall Street School into 24 properties including four penthouse apartments. Plans also include the development of a new L-shaped block within the grounds for 25 apartments.

In addition to high-quality living space, if approved, the proposed four-storey residential development would feature a whole host of amenities for residents, including a rooftop residents’ garden designed to create the perfect environment for outdoor dining, socialising, exercise, and wellness.

Residents will also benefit from children’s play areas, raised growing beds, herb gardens and several intimate “secret gardens”.

Officials are recommending that approval is given when the proposal is considered by Glasgow’s planning applications committee on Tuesday.

Speaking when plans were submitted last year, Marc Taylor, director of Kelvin Properties, said: “Our plans will allow a community to flourish and reinvigorate an incredible building, while protecting the environment and boosting the local economy.

“Glasgow’s west end continues to be a welcoming and highly attractive place to live and demand for properties continues to grow. We’re very pleased to have submitted plans for the redevelopment that would restore this stunning building to its former glory and provide much-needed high-quality homes in a fantastic location. Although the building isn’t listed, we will retain its fantastic architectural features.

“We have also made sure to maximise outdoor space for the residents - we feel the rooftop space will be particularly attractive.”
