Planning progress for 200-home vision at Govan waterfront

Govan Housing Association’s proposal for a residential-led mixed-use regeneration of land at Water Row has been awarded planning permission in principle.Developed in conjunction with Central Govan Action Plan (CGAP), Glasgow City Council, and Collective Architecture, a masterplan featuring around 200 new homes as well as 3,500 square metres of commercial space, set within high-quality public space gained approval last January.The passing of the latest application will see three phases of development at land at Govan Cross Shopping Centre, Water Row and Govan Road.Each phase will require a more detailed planning application and the number of houses has yet to be formally agreed.Planners said Govan Housing Association’s masterplan “promotes a vision of a vibrant neighbourhood taking advantage of the site’s central location at the heart of Govan town centre, its link to the Clyde Waterfront and improved connectivity as a result of the planned Govan–Partick bridge”.
