Changes have been made to an impressive £95m development plan in Glasgow - and locals are invited to have their say.

As the Glasgow Times reported in March, consultation is ongoing for a residential and cultural hub in Calton.

Collegelands would be a new neighbourhood made up of 157 rented apartments, a 588-bed student accommodation, a park and an art facility.

Developer Glasgow Enlightenment is to hold a second meeting on Thursday, May 30 at Drygate Village Hall, inviting Glasgwegians to share their thoughts.

Ahead of the submission of a planning application, the company is looking for feedback on the latest changes to the proposal.

These include reduced height for the buildings and the addition of roof terraces, benches, free Wi-Fi and charging points.

Paul O’Donnell, of Glasgow Enlightenment, said: “When we launched the first round of consultation in April this year, we attracted lots of excitement and interest from across the city.

"Now, as we get closer to defining our plans, we are keen to hear more about what local people think about the development.

“We listened when some concerns were raised about the height of the buildings, and we have acted to address this issue, reconfiguring the plans, before submitting the final planning application in July.

“We also had some very productive chats with people about how they want to see the park develop and we want to make sure their views are incorporated in the masterplan.

“The latest plans show the height of the BTR (build to rent) building being reduced following consultation.

"Both the BTR and student accommodation buildings also step down in height towards the park at the south to create attractive roof terraces with views over the park and to reduce the visual impact of the buildings on the landscape. 

“More detailed plans have also been made for the arts facility which will be built by local charity Dream Machine Productions.

"It will now feature a modular design inspired by a traditional Glasgow bandstand, with enclosed indoor space opening out into a courtyard.

"The courtyard space will have 'happy to chat' benches, free Wi-Fi, charging points and spaces that encourage outdoor remote working.”
