The companies are in the process of preparing a full planning application for the residential development of land off Lochend Road.

The site is an allocated housing site within Glasgow City Council’s adopted Local Development Plan.

Comprising a range of 2, 3, 4 and 5-bed terraced, semi-detached and detached dwellings, the proposals will also 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.

Key features of 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.

A second public consultation will be held next month.
