Glasgow Council Approves 304 Homes at Govan Graving Docks

Glasgow City Council has approved plans for the development of over 300 homes on the historic Govan Graving Docks, a site that has been derelict for nearly 40 years. The project, led by New City Vision and designed by O’DonnellBrown Architects, will include 74 one-bedroom flats, 208 two-bedroom flats, and 22 three-bedroom flats, with 80% of the site to be transferred to community ownership upon completion. The development is part of a broader regeneration effort for the area, which aims to incorporate a heritage park and revive historic ship repair activities at Dock No.1. The first phase will begin with the construction of 60 apartments, followed by additional residential buildings up to ten stories high. Local community feedback played a significant role in shaping the plans, ensuring that the development meets the needs of the area while respecting its historical significance. This initiative is seen as a vital step toward addressing the housing shortage in Glasgow and enhancing the riverfront's appeal.
