LAND AT CROOKSTON ROAD
Investment Type: Residential development site Location: Crookston Road (Former Howford Primary School) Landowner: Glasgow City Council Status: Under offer
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The subject site is located in the established residential area of Crookston, approximately 11 km (7 miles) south west of Glasgow City Centre. The site offers an attractive development opportunity on the edge of the White Cart Water.
The site was formerly occupied by Howford Primary School and Schoolhouse, both of which have since been demolished. The site extends to 3.33 hectares (8.23 acres) or thereby and is shown outlined in red on the attached plan.
The site is bound to the north by the White Cart Water, to the east and south by residential development and Linthaugh Nursery School and to the west by Crookston Road leading to the National Cycle Network: Route 7.
It should be noted that a significant part of the site is designated as the White Cart Water Green Corridor and Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) as identified in the City Development Plan. The extent of the SINC is highlighted green on the attached plan. Any development within a SINC and/or a Green Corridor will be limited.
The site lies in the desirable area of Crookston, just 7 miles southwest of Glasgow City Centre.
