Summary:
- Expected to be known as ‘College Gardens’, the project will see a mix of build-to-rent flats and student accommodation provided across six blocks on a car park and empty land. Permission was granted in 2023 for around 1,500 homes — both build-to-rent and student accommodation — on the site, but it has since been sold to the Galliard Apsley Partnership.
- It submitted a fresh plan to Glasgow City Council, increasing the number of homes. The new permission allows 713 build-to-rent apartments, with a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom properties, and 999 student beds in both studios and cluster flats.
- Almost 40 objections to the scheme were submitted, including from Calton Community Council, while 17 letters of support were received by the council. Concerns focused on the scale and height of the development, its appearance, the impact on light at Parsonage Square and road safety, traffic and parking issues
