Just off Johnston Road, the 4.8 acres of land will include a range of three and four-bedroom homes within walking distance to the nearby loch.

Springfield central managing director, Peter Matthews, said: “We’re pleased our application for high-quality housing has been approved. With handy road and rail commuter routes a stone’s throw away, two primary schools on the doorstep and just a short drive to local shops, the Glasgow Fort Shopping Centre and supermarket – the development is in a great location.

“Construction of these 42 homes will bring new jobs to the area and support local trades and suppliers. We are aiming to start selling these homes early next year.”
