Sanctuary is to present its plans for the continued regeneration of Paisley’s West End.Sanctuary completed the Wellmeadow Street development in Paisley last yearThe housing provider is looking to build around 22 units for social rent on the Sutherland Street site. The mix will include 2-bedroom flats and 2 & 3-bedroom houses. A plan to build around 14 houses for affordable sale on the site of the University of West of Scotland’s former halls of residence is also being developed.
