CRUDEN Homes have been given permission for a development of almost 70 houses and flats at North Toryglen on the south side of Glasgow.

The company will build 53 houses and 16 flats for sale, at Prospecthill Square/Prospecthill Circus. The site was formerly occupied by high-rise flats demolished some years ago.

The proposal, now approved by Glasgow City Council planning department, is the third phase of the North Toryglen Transformational Regeneration Area.

It will be made up of semi-detached, detached and terraced houses, 31 with three bedrooms and 22 with two bedrooms.

There will be a four-storey block containing 12 two-bedroom flats and four one-bedroom flats.

The design and materials are in line with earlier phases at the site, with pitched roofs and white render.
