TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland and Caledonian Properties have submitted a joint application for an Approval of Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC) to Glasgow City Council for the provision of 300 new homes in Robroyston.
Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) has already been secured for the development, located off Robroyston Road, and this detailed planning application sets out proposals for the housing mix, landscaping, and building materials.
In addition to a choice of two, three, four, and five-bedroom new homes, Lumloch View will provide ‘generous’ public open space connected by green networks that include new pedestrian and cycle links, pocket parks, and a play area. Plans also include providing a new community space and the associated infrastructure required for a development of this scale.
Approximately five acres of land at Briarcroft will be transferred from Taylor Wimpey to the community to help facilitate a range of new uses, including a garden, exercise area and memorial.
The developers have also agreed to provide safe crossing points over Robroyston Road, which will connect to the footpath network.
Martin Findlay, technical director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said, “Along with our development partners Caledonian Properties Ltd, since our Planning Permission in Principle was granted, we have been working towards refining our final proposals for the development. As a result, we firmly believe that our proposed Lumloch View development will integrate well with the established community.
“We aim to provide new open space, green networks and landscaping, which, together with the community proposals for land at Briarcroft, will present an opportunity to improve health and wellbeing in the area. Furthermore, in addition to an impressive range of new homes, our proposed development will also provide a range of economic benefits for the local Robroyston area. This includes supporting new jobs for every year of construction and attracting new customers to local businesses from those who choose to live in one of the new homes this development aims to deliver.”
