THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Avant Homes (Scotland) Ltd and Eldridge Developments Ltd are in the process of preparing a full planning application for residential development of land off Lochend Road, Easterhouse, Glasgow.
The site is an allocated housing site within Glasgow City Council’s adopted Local Development Plan (“City Development Plan”, March 2017) under site ref. H116.
Exhibition boards from our first public consultation event providing further details about the site and the proposals can be downloaded below.
The current proposed site plan is shown below:
Key features of our proposed development include:
• Deliver 249 high quality, well designed and energy efficient houses, on an allocated residential development site, to assist in meeting identified local housing need;
• An inclusive and accessible development offering a range of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bed terraced, semi-detached and detached dwellings, designed to meet the needs of all including young and growing families, first time buyers and downsizers;
• The proposals will deliver a significant amount of high-quality public open space, incorporating equipped play area, and areas for informal play. In addition to a network of paths through and around the site, including the provision of a link to the local nature reserve and wider Easterhouse to the south.
• The proposals respect the existing Site of Importance to Nature Conservation (SINC) within the site boundary, providing a landscape buffer between it and any proposed development. Your views on the potential for this area to become an extension to the existing Local Nature Reserve are sought as part of this public consultation.
• The proposals also include significant biodiversity enhancement, through the planting of 262 new native trees, hedgerows, and varied areas of parkland/wetland meadow and species rich grassland.
• The proposals have been carefully designed to complement the surrounding landscape and existing built form within the local area, whilst offering a variety of housing options to meet the needs of a diverse range of potential homeowners;
• As well as being highly insulated, the proposed new homes include zero and low-carbon technologies such as wastewater heat recovery, Solar Photovoltaic panels (Solar PV) and electric vehicle charging points.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposals have been informed by a suite of technical and environmental surveys and assessments, covering ground conditions, ecology, archaeology, transport, air quality, and flood risk and drainage.
All supporting technical information underpinning the scheme will be publicly available at the time the planning application is submitted to Glasgow City Council as the local Planning Authority.
