Proposed retirement village on site of old dye works goes up for sale

A site in Glasgow which has planning permission to be turned into a retirement village is to go on the market for £5 million.

The former Netherplace Old Dye Works site close to Newton Mearns has been brought to market by Watling Real Estate and Graham & Sibbald with a price tag of £5 million.

It already has planning permission to be used as a residential retirement village but there are other options for the site for whoever buys it. The site is 15.27 acres and is close to the motorway, and the planning permission for it allows for a retirement residential community with a care home and a multi-purpose village centre which would all be access from a new road being built.
