Situated on the corner of Appin Road and Todd Street in the Haghill neighbourhood, the proposed scheme would mainly provide two-storey family homes, each with private rear gardens, providing much-needed, high-quality housing for social rent.

The scheme has been designed with sustainability and accessibility in mind. The features proposed include air source heat pumps, roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels, and electric vehicle (EV) charging points for every home. 

Additionally, the plans include the delivery of four wheelchair-compliant homes.

Since late 2023, Glasgow has been in a housing emergency, with more than 6,000 live housing applications and more than 4,200 households currently residing in temporary accommodation.

Paul Kelly, managing director of AS Homes Scotland, said: “Delivering high-quality, affordable homes across Glasgow is a key priority for us, and this proposal represents another positive step towards increasing the supply of much-needed new family homes in the city. 

“Working in partnership with Home Group has allowed us to bring forward a well-designed, sustainable development, by regenerating a brownfield site that will provide long-term benefits for residents and the wider community.”

Bryony Willett, director of Home Group Scotland, said: “Submitting this planning permission will help us work with our partners to deliver much-needed affordable housing in Glasgow’s East End.

“Designing these homes with sustainability and accessibility in mind, including six wheelchair-compliant homes, means we can best deliver for our customers and the community here in Haghill. We look forward to, subject to planning approval, progressing with these new homes.”
