AN application for 110 houses and flats on a triangle of railway land at Kelvindale has been approved by city planners.

The proposal by West of Scotland Housing Association involves a site east of the junction of Temple Road and Dalsholm Road. There will be 24 terraced homes and 86 flats.

A document included with the new planning application stated: “The design proposal for the redevelopment of this vacant land parcel aims to provide a mix of affordable housing ranging from two-bedroom to four-bedroom as well as dwellings catering for specific accessibility needs.

“This will be provided in a mixture of flats and terraced housing to suit the current affordable housing requirements needs highlighted in the area.”

Access will be formed for vehicles through the introduction of a new traffic light-controlled junction.

The proposals also include wider road improvements including a footway on the adjacent railway bridge.

The full site is bounded by the West Highland rail line to the north, and the Maryhill to Anniesland rail line, in a cutting, which runs along the southern edge of the full site.
