CRUDEN Homes will build 56 new properties in north Toryglen after receiving planning approval from Glasgow City Council.
The homes at Prospecthill Road follow several phases of Cruden’s award-winning King’s View development in the area, and will feature a range of two and three-bed terraced houses and three-bed semi detached properties, all with private gardens.
The homes will be built to Glasgow Gold Standard, with solar PV panels and air source heat pumps.
Cruden added that the latest phase of development encourages biodiversity and pays tribute to the natural surroundings in close proximity to the site, which feature extensive greenery and landscaping with woodland, footpaths and cycle paths. Bird and bat boxes and bug hotels are also being incorporated into the plans.
Work is due to begin on the new homes next year.
Fraser Lynes, MD of Cruden Homes, said, “Toryglen is a dynamic location with a wealth of amenities on the doorstep for new homeowners. Our next phase of homes will present the perfect option for those who are looking to join a growing and inclusive community with plenty of surrounding amenities and abundance of green space.
“This area has been a key focus for Clyde Gateway’s urban regeneration in recent years, bringing major social and economic benefits to local people. Cruden has a strong track record of delivering multi-tenure new homes here and we’re thrilled to be once again contributing to this transformation by bringing even more sustainable properties to the locale.”
Martin McKay, chief executive of urban regeneration specialist Clyde Gateway, added, “One of the biggest and most noticeable changes across Clyde Gateway over the past few years has been in housing. So, we are delighted that Cruden is delivering a further 56 new, energy efficient homes in this very popular area, situated in a thriving local community.
“This development has a strong focus on biodiversity and sustainability, which is in keeping with our neighbouring nature reserve, Malls Mire Community Woodland. This all contributes to Clyde Gateway’s wider aim to continually improve the lives of residents and to be an attractive area for people to live, work and play.”
