Plans for a major homes development in the West End of Glasgow are about to go on public display for the first time.
Developers behind plans to build homes on the Jordanhill College campus will be answering questions and taking suggestions from the public at an event tomorrow [Wednesday Dec 7].
The University of Strathclyde - the site's owners - has acquired consent for planning permission in principle (PPP) for residential development at the campus site.
As preferred developer, Cala Homes (West) is seeking to convert this consent into a deliverable scheme for the 31-acre site.
It is putting together what is called a matters specified in conditions (MSC) application in the new year.
But to inform that MSC application Cala Homes says it wants to hear from local people.
A statement from Cala says: "Cala are committed to consulting with the local communities in which we build and we are keen to hear your thoughts and feedback on our initial plans for the development."
The developer is holding an information event on the proposals as they stand where representatives of the project team will be o hand to take questions and explain the scheme.
The event takes place from 2pm – 8pm at the David Stow Building, 76 Southbrae Drive, Glasgow, G13 1PP.
Cala Homes:"Cala are committed to consulting with the local communities in which we build and we are keen to hear your thoughts and feedback on our initial plans for the development."
Cala's website says: "This will be an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the PPP consent, which establishes the acceptability of the proposed residential land use, and to hear your views on the design proposals.
"Please drop in to give us your feedback and thoughts."
If you are unable to attend but would like further information or to share your thoughts, they are invited to have their say via its website (see link below).
The site was put on the market three years after the university left.
Demand for properties is expected to be high as Jordanhill is popular with families keen to enrol their children at the high-performing Jordanhill School.
A former country estate, the site housed Jordanhill College of Education from 1913 until 2012, becoming Strathclyde University's Faculty of Education in 1993.
Two more buildings - Graham House and Douglas House - are also on site.
