PROPOSALS to deliver a residential-led development on land at Gartloch Farm in Glasgow’s east end have been unveiled.
Promoted by Apsley (Gartloch) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of property developer Apsley House Capital, the plans will progress the delivery of development on a 49-hectare site allocated for residential development in Glasgow City Council’s adopted City Development Plan. In addition, there will be local retail and community facilities.
Apsley (Gartloch) Limited has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to Glasgow City Council and other key stakeholders. This signifies the formal notice of intent to submit an application for Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) following a minimum 12-week consultation period.
This period of pre-application consultation will comprise two public events on 22nd April and 24th June at St Benedict’s Catholic Church on Westerhouse Road, Easterhouse, between 3pm and 7pm.
As part of the Galliard Apsley Partnership (with Galliard Homes), Apsley House Capital has a history of involvement in Glasgow, with consent to deliver more than 1,700 homes and student rooms at the former College Street Goods Yard.
A spokesperson for Apsley (Gartloch) Limited said, “We are delighted to be bringing forward these landscape-led proposals, which will progress a site allocated in Glasgow’s Local Development Plan and assist the city in tackling the housing emergency and deliver a strong sense of community. In addition to new housing, our proposals will also include a new mixed-use neighbourhood centre potentially comprising shops, cafes, restaurants and other commercial uses, supporting this new housing.
“Our ethos is for a landscape-led development which sensitively improves biodiversity and the natural environment. In tandem, if approved, the project will form a significant part of Glasgow’s NPF4 goal of delivering 21,350 homes to tackle the emergency over the next 10 years.
“Through the consultation process, we are looking forward to receiving input from the local community, who will play a vital role in shaping our proposals.”
