Cleddans Playing Fields – Affordable Housing Provision - Follow Up Consultation
Residents are being given another chance to find out about proposals to build around 51 affordable homes in Kirkintilloch.
East Dunbartonshire Council, in partnership with Coltart Earley Architects, McTaggart Construction and the Council’s development partners hub West Scotland, is proposing to develop an area of land known locally as Cleddans Playing Fields or Tottie Park.
The site, to the east of Whitehill Avenue in Hillhead and west of Loch Lea, Mossgiel Gardens and Alloway Grove in Harestanes, is presently used for open space, but was allocated in the Local Development Plan for residential development in 2017.
The proposal is to build 51 affordable homes for social rent on the site which would include cottage flats, semi-detached, and terraced homes ranging from 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom properties. The development will be made possible through the allocation of grant funding from the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme.
An engagement event took place in August to showcase the proposals. Following feedback at the event and via the online survey, some changes have been made.
A further drop-in event has been arranged by the Council’s Housing Team, to provide feedback on the views gathered during the first event and to give residents an opportunity to look at the updated proposals, find out more and give feedback. The event details are:
Date: Wednesday 25 September 2024
Time: 3-7pm
Venue: Hillhead Community Centre, Meiklehill Road, Kirkintilloch, G66 2JT
Experts will be on hand to answer questions and provide further details on the plans and drawings that are being proposed to help the Council deliver affordable homes for social rent in this area.
If you are unable to attend the drop-in event then you are still able to take part in the consultation. Please see the documents section for an overview of what is presently proposed for the site and the feedback on views gathered in the first pre-application consultation event. Once you have looked over the plans, please complete a short survey so that our design team can consider your comments in more detail.
The survey will be available from Friday 20 September until Friday 4 October 2024.
A report will then be prepared on this pre-application consultation exercise, which will be submitted in support of the planning application.
Please note that comments made at this stage are not formal representations to the planning authority. Once a planning application is submitted a further opportunity to make representations to the planning authority on any development proposals will be made available.
