New flats planned for Cathcart

An application has been submitted to Glasgow City Council seeking permission in principle to build the flats at the junction of Newlands Road and Tankerland Road.

The site currently contains a single storey building previously used to engineering purposes by Weir Pumps. The building has a paved car park above it, ReGlasgow reports.

Planning consultants Iceni Projects have submitted a planning statement which reveals that the building would have about five floors and contain approximately 31 two-bedroom flats.

The statement reads: “The proposed development would bring a vacant brownfield site in a highly accessible area into positive use by providing high-quality flatted residential development.

“The density of the proposed development is considered to be appropriate for this sustainable location which benefits from close proximity to amenities and services and excellent proximity to public transport routes.”
