An application by West of Scotland Housing Association (WSHA) for 110 new homes on former railway land in Kelvindale has been approved by city planners.
About this development:
- Authority:Glasgow City
- Type:Residential
- Applications:
- Team:Convery Prenty Shields Architects (architect), West of Scotland Housing Association (developer)
Working with Convery Prenty Shields Architects, WSHA will deliver a mix of 86 flats and 24 terraced houses, offering two to four bedrooms for rent, across four-storey blocks of flats and terraced houses on the vacant ground opposite 35 Dalsholm Road.
There are 113 parking spaces proposed, as well as a new entrance to the estate – through a traffic light-controlled junction.
A design statement submitted to the council said there is also an “in-principle agreement on the provision of a footway over the railway bridge to promote safe pedestrian movement northwards from Kelvindale”.
The design statement said: “The design proposal for the redevelopment of this vacant land parcel aims to provide a mix of affordable housing ranging from two bedroom to four bedroom as well as dwellings catering for specific accessibility needs.
“This will be provided in a mixture of flats and terraced housing to suit the current affordable housing requirements needs highlighted in the area, with provision for onsite car parking, refuse storage, bike storage and open amenity space all being provided as part of the proposal.”
Access will be formed for vehicles through the introduction of a new traffic light-controlled junction.
The proposals also include wider road improvements including a footway on the adjacent railway bridge.
The full site is bounded by the West Highland rail line to the north, and the Maryhill to Anniesland rail line, in a cutting, which runs along the southern edge of the full site.
