Overview

Large-Scale Co-Living Planning Guidance is a type of non-self-contained, typically non-family, market-led housing that typically consists of private individual studios, Twodios or cluster flats combined with communal spaces and facilities under a single management company that runs the scheme on behalf of the residents.

As Large-Scale Co-living is a relatively new type of housing to Glasgow non-statutory Planning Guidance (PG) has been prepared to assist in assessing planning applications for this type of development and forms a material consideration to be taken into account.

The guidance provides the following: A definition of Large-Scale Co-Living (LCL) for planning purposes, a policy framework and locational context guidance, a set of private living and communal shared space standards, a ready reckoner to differentiate Large-Scale Co-Living from Build-to-Rent; and a map of LCL potentially suitable locations.
