A new plan to redevelop a rail depot could see 43 homes built in Yorkhill.
Network Rail has submitted a fresh application for a site to the west of 145 Kelvinhaugh Street, reducing the number of flats proposed.An initial application for 49 units across two buildings was submitted late last year but was withdrawn last month. The new bid proposes 43 flats over a single nine-storey building.with the application, states the site boundary has been amended to reflect “the operational requirements of the railway adjacent”.
As the application is for planning permission in principle, no details on layout, design or materials are required at this. Network Rail has also submitted a concept brochure which “aims to demonstrate that a high quality scheme can be delivered” at Kelvinhaugh Junction, Yorkhill. It stated: “The surrounding area is going through a phase of development with a move away from industrial to residential which the proposal seeks to reflect through the emerging architectural language evident in recent developments.”
As an “urban brownfield corner site”, there is a requirement for a “development of reasonable scale to help continue existing street lines”, the application claimed. Therefore, the “scope for providing this extent of amenity space on site does not exist”. The plans added the “lack of amenity space being provided on site is mitigated by the location of the proposed development within the flourishing Finnieston area, which has an ever increasing range of services offered in close proximity to the site”.
