(2) advising that the Council, together with North Council and the and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership, had commissioned a study to examine site selection for community growth areas in the Gartloch/ area to provide design guidance which would aid integration of new residential sites with the emerging strategy for a wetlands park;

(3) detailing the main findings of the consultant’s study which had identified 3 locations around Easterhouse, namely, north and east of , east of Lochend and south of Lochend Road and between Commonhead and the M73 and Rogerfield and the M8, which might offer residential development potential;

(4) confirming that a fourth area identified in the 2004 planning study had been brought forward as a greenfield release site as part of City Plan 1 proposals and the Council had granted planning permission for the development of around 300 houses in the north and east of the neighbourhood; and
