The developer has earmarked a vacant site at Glenacre Terrace, near Carmunnock Road, for 16 houses, a four-storey block of 12 flats and four cottage flats.

All properties will be for social rent with Craigdale Housing Association.

The proposals follow the development of adjacent land last year.

A planning statement included with the application explains: “The proposed design reflects the existing context including the previous phase of development completed recently, and will complement the existing residential dwellings in the surrounding locale which comprise both post-war three to four-storey flats and more recent new-build houses and cottage flats.

“The proposal will create a welcoming and attractive residential area with well-integrated and useable open space and landscaping areas.”
