    Closing date

    23/08/2024

    This consultation is now closed.

    Residents are being given a chance to find out about proposals to build around 51 affordable homes in Kirkintilloch at a drop-in event being held in August. 

    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.

    A drop-in event, organised by the Council’s Housing Team, will give residents an opportunity to view the initial proposals, find out more and give their feedback. The event details are:

    Date: Tuesday 20 August 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 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. Once you have looked over the plans, please complete a short survey so that our design team can consider your comments in more detail.

     

    Survey (NOW CLOSED)

     

    The survey will be available from Monday 12 August until Friday 23 August 2024.

    A second drop in event will take place on Wednesday 25 September from 3-7pm at Hillhead Community Centre, where feedback will be provided on the views gathered during this first event. A report will then be prepared, 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.
