A RESIDENTIAL development is being proposed for a former city council depot.

Westpoint Homes are proposing three five-storey blocks containing a total of 55 flats, most of them with two bedrooms, at Greenholme Street, off Holmlea Road in Cathcart, beside the railway line.

Planning consent is due to be sought for the development following recent pre-application public consultation required under legislation.

A statement submitted to the city council explains: “The proposed design is to be of a scale and layout that is fitting to the existing inner-city location and considers the existing urban and residential nature of the area.

“It includes associated open space and landscaping in the form of a central communal courtyard area and surrounding amenity space.”
