New homes and city business supported through council land disposals

After committee decisions today (28 November) Glasgow City Council has approved the off-market disposal of land at four sites in the city to allow the building of new homes, the creation of a dementia-friendly residential development, the expansion of a Glasgow business and the generation of public funds.

Disposal one of four approved to allow housing and business benefits

The sites involved are at Carmyle, Deaconsbank, Maryhill and Port Dundas.

The Carmyle disposal - for three plots of land at Kenmuir Road - of a 3.01 hectares site to Carmyle Developments Limited will lead to the building of new homes and the delivery of highway improvements and is an additional area of land to a previously agreed sale that will generate a further capital receipt for the council.

In Deaconsbank, the council will dispose of four plots of vacant land totalling 1.46 hectares (at Kennisholm Avenue, Kennishead Path, Kennishead Place and Hopeman Drive) to Glen Oaks Housing Association for the building of 25 new affordable homes, with the council receiving £161,150 for the sale.

The disposal of a former single-storey day care centre for the elderly at Oran Gardens to Maryhill Housing Association will see the development of a two-storey block of 12 one-bedroom and two two-bedroom flats for people with dementia, with a sheltered courtyard space. The council will receive a capital receipt of £107, 859 for the disposal.

A 0.25 hectare site at Farnell Street will be disposed of to Chan's Limited - owner of the adjoining land - to allow the expansion of the company's operations. The disposal will realise a capital receipt of £110,000 for the council.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Housing, Development and Land Use at Glasgow City Council,said: "The approval of these disposals today will bring significant benefit to the city, with much-need new homes - included a dementia-friendly development - to be built at three locations in the north, south and east of the city, and the expansion of a Glasgow business, bringing new jobs. In addition, the capital receipts generated through the disposals will further support public services in Glasgow."
