Major plans for over 300 homes on the Shawlands Arcade site have been recommended for approval despite almost 200 objections.
The first phase of the Kilmarnock Road arcade’s redevelopment would see a ‘Build to Rent’ scheme, with 329 flats and almost 2,000 square metres of ground floor retail space.committee next week, and planning officials have decided the project can be given the go-ahead.
The ‘Build to Rent’ development, which would range from five to 14 storeys, would have a “central plaza” and a children’s play area., including from Pollokshields councillors Zen Ghani, Jon Molyneux and Norman MacLeod as well as Shawlands and Strathbungo Community Council and tenants’ union Living Rent.
They said the current site has been “under-performing for over 20 years” and is “currently contributing very little to the vitality” of Shawlands. Bailie MacLeod, SNP, said the “lack of adequate car parking proposed for new residents and the loss of present customer parking at the arcade is another matter of acute concern”.
