2 YORKHILL QUAY SCOPE OF PLANNING PERMISSION IN PRINCIPLE (PPIP) It should be noted that the application we intend to submit will be seeking Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) for the proposed development. This means that we are seeking approval for the general principle of the development on the land proposed. The detailed design of the proposals, and associated applications, will follow in due course if the PPiP application is consented to.

The PPiP application will seek permission for a proposed mixed-use development including residential, hotel, leisure and commercial (to include Class 1,2,3,4,10 and 11) uses, to include all access, landscaping and other required infrastructure. GLASGOW CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2017) DESIGNATION It is considered of significance to note that the site is zoned for residential purposes in the Glasgow City Development Plan (2017). RIVER CLYDE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (SDF) Yorkhill Quay is highlighted as an area of ‘Immediate Priority’ GLASGOW CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN RIVER CLYDE SDF within the River Clyde 2050 SDF to Reconnect, Reinvent, Reactivate, Repair and Densify the site. It is noted that a supporting finer grain of commercial activity and residential accommodation will enhance the area. The design of high quality public spaces which provide opportunities for shelter and the creation of natural habitat is imperative. PLANNING HISTORY It is of significance to note the extensive planning history of the proposed development site. The site is part of the wider Glasgow Harbour redevelopment project for which Planning Permission (99/03213/DC) was initially granted in June 2001. The application for the Glasgow Harbour Overall Masterplan Site proposed a phased mixed-use development (comprising residential, retail, offices, auto retail, hotel, bars/restaurants, sports/health and fitness, theatre and berthing facility uses) extending from the SEC car park boundary at the Pump House to the at . Following the approval of Planning Permission 99/03213/DC, the redevelopment of the wider Glasgow Harbour site commenced with the construction of the first three phases of housing development and the investment of around £30 million in extensive new infrastructure including new CONNECTIVITY & ACCESS PLACEMAKING STRATEGY roads and pedestrian bridges to improve accessibility of the site.

Following completion of the new road infrastructure, Planning Application 08/02395/DC was submitted to Glasgow City Council in 2008 seeking consent for increased retail leisure and other commercial uses on the eastern portion of the Masterplan site. In August 2017 Glasgow City Council granted Planning Consent 17/00610/ DC which extended the timescale of Planning Consent 08/02395/ DC (approved in September 2012). Since the approval of Planning Consent 17/00610/DC Glasgow Harbour Ltd have received Planning Consent for an AMSC application (Planning Ref. 18/01993/MSC) which approved retail, leisure, bar and restaurant uses on the western bank of the River Kelvin. These previous consents have established a quantum of development on the wider Glasgow Harbour site and on the site in question with, for example, the Masterplan for Planning Consent 17/00610/DC clearly showing office blocks, a casino and a hotel on the proposed development site. In this regard the proposals in question seek to replace the office and casino uses previously proposed for this area with, in the main, residential development. TOWNSCAPE & KEY VIEWS A GREEN RIVER 3 PLANNING CONTEXT TO YORKHILL PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO PARTICK The proposed mixed-use development comprises the following:

• Plot 1 (10,500m2) 500 Private Rented Sector (PRS) homes (approx.) • Plot 2 (7,800m2) 400 Co-Living homes (approx.) 3. RESI 200 HOMES • Plot 3 (9,500m2) 200 Flatted Residential homes (approx.) RIVERSIDE • Plot 4 (2,500m2) Leisure Development (approx.) MUSEUM • Plot 5 (3,700m2) 200 Bed Hotel Development (approx.) SWG3 • A continuous River Walkway for pedestrians and cyclists 4. LEISURE • Enhanced public realm and green open space TO FINNESTON 1. PRS 500 HOMES TO GOVAN LINEAR PARK • Complementary commercial uses 5. HOTEL 200 ROOMS • Associated access, parking and infrastructure 2. CO-LIVING 400 HOMES

The proposed development plots will vary in height from a datum of CLYDESIDE approx. 8 storeys to a maximum height of circa 18 storeys. DISTILLERY

STRATEGIC MOVES TO SEC The residential-led mix of uses including hotel, leisure and commercial activities will help repopulate and reactivate the PROGRAMME & MIX OF USES CONNECTIVITY waterfront, creating a vibrant and diverse destination which VIEW TO UNIVERSITY complements and connects with surrounding uses at the Riverside OF GLASGOW VIEW FROM PARTICK Museum, Clydeside Distillery and nearby SWG3. APPROACH

The development of Yorkhill Quay offers a unique opportunity to reconnect the riverfront between these key tourist attractions, together with forming wider connections to Govan across the new pedestrian bridge, the SEC Events Campus, River Kelvin walkways and neighbouring communities in Partick and Finnieston.

A series of ‘River Rooms’ create larger areas of protected public VIEW FROM VIEW FROM GOVAN KELVINHAUGH STREET realm along the River Walkway, creating opportunity to pause, meet TO UNIVERSITY OF APPROACH and engage with the river. GLASGOW

Key views inform the principal location of buildings and open space, with the larger public bookend squares maintaining key VIEW FROM UNIVERSITY OF VIEW FROM vistas both to and from important city landmarks, such as the GLASGOW GOVAN VIEW FROM CLYDESIDE University of . DISTILLERY TO RIVERSIDE MUSEUM The principal building height will be strategically located adjacent to the largest open public spaces at both the East and West of the site, allowing the opportunity for tall buildings to KEY VIEWS & VISTAS MASSING & PERMEABILITY become River Corridor landmarks.

A North/South visual permeability is proposed to allow daylighting deep into the plots while ensuring views are retained between them, with amenity spaces proposed at ground level to activate the edge of the public realm with a variety of complementary commercial uses.

The new river frontage allows accommodation to exploit the waterfront location with opportunities in daylighting, views, balconies and terraces. A series of more intimate private green spaces will provide additional amenity for residents.

The development plots will be accessed via 2 new proposed openings off Stobcross Road and the utilisation of the existing Western approach. Parking is largely covered by landscaped podium decks with undercroft spaces. All proposed residential accommodation is located above the functional floodplain with allowance for climate change.

6 INDICATIVE CONCEPT MASSING ENHANCED PUBLIC REALM The primary objective of our public realm strategy is to re- purpose and enhance the currently vacant and derelict plot of land and revitalise this part of the riverside into an attractive, vibrant and fully permeable green corridor. The redefined River Walkway provides the main spine for the development and repairs connections and access along the river between Partick, Govan, Kelvingrove Park, Riverside Museum, SEC and the city centre.

The proposals will connect in with existing and pending riverside redevelopments within the upper harbour area and combining this with the proposed Clyde and River Kelvin crossings will offer an active travel loop providing connectivity between neighbourhoods, places of work, learning hubs, attractions and major hospitals. The health and wellbeing benefits of this active loop can be enjoyed by all as part of daily commute and leisure pursuits.

The River Walkway incorporates active frontages which encourage activity and street life. The aim is to remove physical barriers to the flow of pedestrians and cyclists within an attractive, safe, and well-lit environment. The design looks beyond site boundaries to root the scheme in its immediate physical and cultural contexts, enhance the surroundings, and establish connections to existing pedestrian, cycle and public transport networks.

Linked to the River Walkway are a network of public, semi- public and private open spaces providing a range of different scales of flexible space. This landscape framework shall accommodate a diverse programme of daytime and evening activities throughout the year, including potential for community markets, temporary events, external dining, fitness and play amongst others.

These public squares, River Rooms and green spaces extend the public realm of the waterside and offer dynamic, human- scale spaces that are distinctive and memorable. Within the detail design there will be opportunities to celebrate the sites heritage and industrial legacy through design language, material palette choices and the work of local artists.

Retaining and enhancing the urban green and blue networks is an integral part of the proposals to increase the biodiversity value and environmental quality of the river corridor. The soft landscape framework for the site offers opportunity for habitat connectivity, comfortable microclimate to dwelling spaces for the public and residents and vegetated solutions incorporated with bioretention features.

Trees and shrubs are located strategically to provide attractive green liveable spaces offering shelter and seasonal interest. By implementing a naturalistic style of planting using native plant communities across the site, the proposal enhances green corridors and biodiversity whilst providing quiet pockets where users can slow down and relax.

In reaction to climate change, flood levels and surface water management, the proposals will integrate compensatory storage for flood water with potential for raingarden features within the open space design. INDICATIVE IMAGERY: ENHANCED PUBLIC REALM & RIVER ROOM ACTIVITY
