PROPOSALS for a major housing and commercial development at Finnieston Street in Glasgow, on a 2.39-acre brownfield site which was formerly a car dealership and prior to that a post office vehicle depot and brass foundry, have been unveiled.
Between 400 and 425 residential flats and maisonettes are planned for the site.
A proposal of application notice has been submitted to Glasgow City Council, outlining Keltbray Developments’ plans. The developer noted this “heralds the intent to submit a planning application following a minimum 12-week consultation period”.
Keltbray Developments said the proposed scheme would comprise a "mixed-use development, including residential use, 'live/work units', commercial use – retail and/or food and drink outlets, associated parking, open space, infrastructure, and landscaping".
A spokesman for Keltbray Developments said: "Our proposals will significantly assist in the sensitive regeneration of this part of the city through these exciting mixed-use proposals.
“As part of this process we are consulting extensively to ensure that people from across the local area have an opportunity to input their views and shape our ambitious proposals through this consultation event.”
Keltbray noted that today (March 10) between 3pm and 7pm, the development team would be available at www.orbitconsultations.scot/finniestonstreet to answer questions through a dedicated chat system as part of the developer’s digital consultation on the plans. At 3pm, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm the team will provide a five-minute presentation of the exhibition board.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
