Recent Housing in Croftspar Grove - South of the Site EDINBURGH ROAD PUBLIC CONSULTATION 02 SITE_HISTORY Springboig SPRINGBOIG 1864 Barlanock House and Estate The Springboig district was named after Springboig Farm, and also Springboig House that was situated within the estate grounds of Barlanark House, a rural mansion house erected in 1822. The 1864 map illustrates the rural nature of the area and highlights the Site as being located with the grounds of the Barlanark House Estate. Springboig Farm By 1899, the railway has come to the area prompting the expansion of Shettleston and the beginnings of a settlement near Springboig Farm, which is later to become the district of Sprinboig. The Springboig bowling green appears in the 1899 map. Barlanark House and Estate remains unchanged at Balarnock House 1870 1937 this point but Sandymount Cemetery to the South, Springboig, named after Springboig Farm and has been established. also Springboig House that was loacated within the estate grounds of Balaranark House, a rural Industrial School In 1905 the new Glasgow School Board Truant mansion house erected in 1822. Industrial School was established to house up to 150 children. The large building was erected within what was part of the grounds of the Barlanark House Estate. Barlanark House itself, now within smaller grounds, still remains in the 1914 map. Springboig Established By 1947 the area has changed dramatically with Springboig now fully established having expanded to the West of Springboig Farm. The large estate of inter-war housing was erected in the 1930’s as part of a post WW1 housing programme in Glasgow to address housing 1864 1978 shortages using ‘Non-Traditional’ pre-fabricated DEVELOPMENT OF SPRINGBOIG construction methods to address materials and labour shortages. There were three main types of technologies used for housing throughout Glasgow at this time - at the Springboig estate, Weir Steel Houses were used. The 1947 map also shows the new Edinburgh Road in place, securing further development of the area. Barlanark Park By 1961 Barlanark House has been demolished (1954) whilst the Industrial School remains, now called Springboig St Johns School. To the North of Edinburgh Road the Queenlie Industrial Estate is now established and development also extends further East. What remains of the Balaranark House Estate 1899 1914 1947 1961 2010 becomes Balaranark Park, including a pedestrian route running North South that follows an original track through the Estate Grounds. Later development of the site extends the Springboig St Johns School further South with additional buildings and a road network that extends to the South East corner of the site though this area is now largely overgrown. EDINBURGH ROAD PUBLIC CONSULTATION 03SITE_RESPONSE / MASTERPLAN PRINCIPLES Existing Trees and Developable Area A key element of the development proposal is to minimise the impact on the existing trees and greenspace as this is a major asset of the site for benefit of its occupiers and those of the surrounding community Proposed Development Platforms Working with the existing platforms ensures that trees are retained and existing green spaces can be used for the benefit of the new development and for the community. The proposed development platforms therefore follow the principle of the existing platforms, extending the developable area where possible to allow the most efficient use of the developable land but without impacting further on the existing mature trees. Placemaking and Street Hierarchy The development proposal consists of a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroomed houses in an arrangement of terraced blocks, semi-detached and detached Houses. 1 and 2 bedroomed apartments are also included in the proposal within two apartment blocks, A new internal road that links the 3 development platforms extends from the Site entrance and development platform at the North, navigating Existing Trees + Development Platforms Proposed Development Platforms Primary Road Secondary Roads through the site to connect with the development platforms in the centre and the south. This new road follows the route of the existing road as far as possible to minimise the impact on the mature trees and greenspace whilst making the most efficient use of the developable areas of the site. An apartment block is positioned along the boundary with Edinburgh Road at the North, where a building of larger scale is appropriate and helps to establishes a gateway to the site. A second apartment block is positioned at the South of the site where the existing dense tree cover and lower site level minimises the impact of the higher building height and again reads as a marker building. A series of 2 and 3 storey terraced blocks and semi- detached houses are arranged along the new road as it extends through the site helping to establish this road as a recognisable primary street with a buildings of suitable scale and character. Detached houses are clustered within a quieter pocket on the West of the central development area and also arranged along the southern side of the street, maximizing the benefit of the South facing aspect and views. Secondary roads connect the quieter areas to the wider development. Amenity, Connections and Active Travel The retention of dense clusters of existing trees establishes a framework for providing open space and amenity and the opportunity to provide routes active travel routes through the site and connections Scale - Flatted Blocks Street - Terraced Housing Character - Detached Houses Core Paths Connections and Amenity to the adjacent neighbourhoods. Existing Core Paths to the North and the South of the site can therefore be linked via a green network through the new development.
