The housebuilder wants to deliver 22 properties on vacant ground at Leggatston Road.

If approved, there would be a range of three-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached homes.

A statement submitted to planners stated: “This site, combined with the parcel of vacant land to the immediate north, have been marketed for industrial/commercial, and most recently retail development.

“The only viable interest has been for a neighbourhood retail development over part of the site. A planning application proposing retail development directly to the north of the site has now been submitted to Glasgow City Council by others.

“This is anticipated to satisfy the retail requirement for the area therefore residential development remains the most logical and viable land use for this residual remaining parcel, whilst offering the opportunity to create a welcoming site entrance to the wider housing development currently under construction.”
