Developer Orchard Brae is planning to build the homes and other retail/commercial units off the M8 at Eurocentral.

As part of the planning process, a series of public events have been held outlining the developer’s plans and to obtain feedback from the local community.

The developers claim the project, named EuroPark, will improve the quality of life in existing settlements while providing a long-term economic boost for the area.

Orchard Brae director Scott Gillespie, said: “Our hope is to achieve an outward-looking, nationally important development that interacts, informs and enhances its environment, breathing new life into underused green space while actively improving the canal network for the benefit of all.”

A planning application is expected to be submitted later this year.
