4 I am delighted to introduce the High Street Area Strategy, Glasgow City Council’s vision for this historic heart of our city. As the oldest part of Glasgow, the High Street area has played a leading role in the story of our city. But there has long been a feeling that the area has not been given the attention and recognition it deserves. This strategy aims to address these concerns. We have identified the key themes of promoting heritage, supporting local economic development, and improving the look and feel of the area, and the strategy presents a number of actions the Council and its partners will take forward in these priorities. From shorter term actions like a heritage trail and activating vacant shop units, to longer term ambitions around transforming the public realm, we will be working over the coming years to support and revitalise the area. In recent years, too often the High Street has been treated as a boundary, at the fringes of both the city centre and the east end. But at the heart of our vision is the belief that the High Street corridor, from the Cathedral to the Clyde, should be a vibrant and recognised district in its own right. We must build on the area’s rich heritage and business offer in celebrating that distinct local identity. My thanks go to the council partners involved for their participation in this strategy, and to the cross-party local councillors who have helped oversee its development via our Reference Group. I would also thank the hundreds of people who took part in our public consultation for the thoughts and ideas which have informed our plans. This level of engagement is testament both to the importance of this area’s history, and to the interest so many Glaswegians have in its successful future. This strategy sets out the city’s vision for the High Street, and underpins the city’s renewed commitment to the area – a commitment to promote its unique heritage, support a vibrant local economy and revitalise this historic heart of Glasgow. It is my pleasure to share it with you.

St Mungo Mural, 287 High Street, Glasgow

6 Glasgow City Council considers the High Street/Saltmarket area of Glasgow to be a key priority for regeneration in the city centre, and there is a consensus that more could be done to uplift and enhance an area that comprises the city’s historic heart.

To this end, the Council’s City Centre Strategy Board last year tasked officers from across the council, its arm’s length organisations and its key partners, to form a working group to oversee the development of a five-year Action Plan for the area.

7 Glasgow City Council considers the High Street, Saltmarket and the immediate environs to be a key priority area for regeneration in Glasgow city centre. The Council’s City Centre Strategy Board has committed to the development of a new Chair Lord Provost Bailie Bailie Angus Millar Eva Bolander Philip Braat Christy Mearns strategy and action plan for the area, with the Anderston/City/ Anderston/City/ Anderston/City/ Anderston/City/ process overseen by Councillor Angus Millar, Yorkhill Yorkhill Yorkhill Yorkhill SCOTTISH NATIONAL SCOTTISH NATIONAL SCOTTISH LABOUR SCOTTISH GREEN Depute City Convenor for Economic Growth, PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY and supported by a wider Reference Group comprised of local councillors from wards 9 (Calton), 10 (Anderston/City/Yorkhill) and 22 (Dennistoun).

8 PARTNERSHIP WORKING

The HSAS will have a strong focus on developing partnerships and collaborations with local stakeholders in the project area.

Opportunities to work more closely with major organisations like the Royal Infi rmary, University of Strathclyde, City of Glasgow College and local housing associations, amongst others, will be explored throughout the duration of this project.

This may include co-design of new public spaces and pocket parks.

Provand’s Lordship , 3 Castle St, Glasgow Glasgow was probably founded in the 6th century when St Mungo built a church at place called Cleschu7. Glasgow was given a bishop in 1115, the church was replaced by a cathedral in 11368. The maps illustrate how Glasgow developed around the original axis connecting the Cathedral to the river Clyde, the present day High street, expanding west along the present day Trongate (maps from: (Y)our City Centre Vision, Glasgow City Centre District Regeneration Frameworks Baseline Report, Austin Smith Lord and MVRDV for Glasgow City Council, 2018)

•The HSAS responds to national policy by promoting actions that are embedded and responsive to the local context (Town Centre First Principle). The action plan will support the vibrancy of the local economy and enable enterprising communities (Heritage and Economic Development), whilst proactively planning a programme of projects on the public realm through a bottom up consultative approach. Town centre living will be expanded through the Property Improvement Programme : Residential Strategy together with the enhancement of public spaces to render the area more attractive to future residents.

Our Resilient Glasgow, A City Strategy

OUR RESILIENT GLASGOW A City Strategy •City resilience relates to the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.

High Street Area Strategy

•The HSAS will support the creation of a resilient High Street, with a strong and healthy community able to respond to external shocks, thanks to a diverse and vibrant economy based both on existing heritage and on new ideas and businesses, in a built environment able to support active travel and facilitate a thriving civic life.

25 5 Planning Context

Glasgow Cathedral The entire length of the High Street corridor is contained within the Glasgow Central Conservation Area in recognition of the concentration of historical and culturally significant sites along and in the vicinity of the thoroughfare. Ambition, opportunity, place

•This policy is the spatial expression of the Government Economic Strategy, which sets out the Scottish Government’s ambition for Scotland to become: a successful, sustainable place; a low carbon place; a natural, resilient place; and a connected place. Fourteen national developments are proposed to help deliver the strategy, including the delivery of the Metropolitan Glasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership.

Glasgow City Development Plan

•Glasgow City Council’s priorities focus on a number of cross-cutting themes, including: a. A Thriving Economy: ensuring the outcomes of the Economic Strategy and City Deal benefit the people of Glasgow by regenerating the City Centre b. A Sustainable and Low Carbon City: contributing to active travel networks: prioritising sustainable transport across the city; managing traffic speeds throughout the city; building high quality, inclusive active travel infrastructure to make Glasgow an excellent cycling GLASGOW and walking city; and improving service efficiency through smart technology; and CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN c. Resilient and Empowered Neighbourhoods: ensuring that development is of a high international standard and delivers clean, sociable, accessible and safe neighbourhoods and public spaces.

High Street Area Strategy

•The High Street Area Strategy is a key opportunity to deliver best practice in urban design in the context set by the national and local spatial policies. Its actions will develop balanced communities with local employment benefits, ensuring that the projects improve the viability and vitality of the High Street area whilst protecting and enhancing the local cultural assets, providing the opportunity for more active travel and bringing forward urban design proposals developed through consultation with the local community.

28 Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement 2016

•The HESPS 2016 together with the Scottish Planning Policy, Historic Environment Circular 1 and Historic Environment Scotland’s Managing Change in the Historic Environment guidance note series are the documents for consideration for planning applications affecting the historic environment. The policies recognise that the historic environment is a key cultural and economic asset and a source of inspiration integral to creating successful places.

Historic Environment Strategy ‘Our Place in Time’

•The key outcome of the document is the recognition that the cultural, social, environmental and economic value of Scotland’s heritage makes a strong contribution to the well-being of the nation and its people.

City Development Plan Policy CDP 9: The Historic Environment Managing Change in the Historic Environment •At local level, this policy ensures the appropriate protection, enhancement and management Setting of Glasgow’s heritage assets for the benefit of existing and future generations. All detailed guidance in relation to Conservation Areas (areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance), should be read in conjunction with SG1: The Placemaking Principle.

High Street Area Strategy

•The High Street Area Strategy fully recognises the opportunity offered by the local heritage through a series of actions that build on the area’s key cultural and economic assets. Such assets will be a source of inspiration integral to the actions relative to the built environment. In particular, a Conservation Area Management Plan (CAMP) will be developed for the Cathedral character area in the High Street Action Plan zone. The existing Merchant City CAMP will be reviewed and updated.

29 6 Consultation Outcomes This Strategy is the result of an engagement process where people, businesses and organisations along the High Street corridor shared information and ideas about what they like about the area today and what they dream of it being like in future. The development of this Action Plan has drawn on a number of previous engagement exercises of varying scope and scale, which sought views on the High Street/Saltmarket 52% area.

Prior to the High Street Area Strategy fi nalisation, a full public consultation was carried out 32% via the council’s Consultation Hub and a well attended drop in session took place at St Mungo’s Museum. This consultation was live between 26 March and 06 May 2018.

Poor Quality Public Realm

• Challenge Apart from the Cathedral Precinct, the public realm along the whole of the High Street requires to be upgraded, better connected and rationalised in a way which encourages public use and supports active travel.

Opportunity

•The northern section of the High Street would benefit from having a more consistent street profile with more buildings overlooking it and better defined green areas to add shape and raise awareness of monuments like the Cathedral.

The HSAS will look to secure Community Links Plus budget funding from Sustrans to enable delivery of a comprehensive public realm and active travel improvement scheme along the High Street corridor. Statue of William III of Scotland, Cathedral Square

39 7.5

Retail

• Challenge The changing face of retail and high streets, together with poor overall environmental conditions, is resulting in many empty shop fronts along the High Street.

Opportunity

•High Street commercial enterprises can have a local and a global reach, being located in a densely inhabited area but also benefiting from a very central location, just a short walk away from Glasgow’s commercial heart.

The strategy aims to support the sustainable development of the High Street, focusing on its assets and points of difference. It will engage with local retailers and other local organisations to maximise opportunities from the local visitor offer, through event, marketing and property Shop units at High Street, Glasgow support. 40 7.6

Heritage

• Challenge The area does not provide an integrated visitor offer and does not take full advantage of the wealth of local heritage assets which are currently undervalued and often hidden.

Opportunity

•There is an opportunity to provide increased interpretation of the area’s rich heritage through the creation of a robust but flexible framework for co-operation between the city council and all those active in supporting local heritage.

The objective is to increase the number of visitors to the historic sites, but also to enhance the sense of place of the local community who live in the vicinity of rich historical heritage, sometimes without St Mungo’s Church enjoying its full benefits. 41 Picture 1: Buchanan Street, Glasgow Picture 2: Glasgow Cathedral Picture 3: Glasgow Women’s Library Picture 4: The Barras Market 7.7

Reconnecting the East

• Challenge Extend opportunities from the City Centre by reconnecting it with the Inner East, thereby capitalising upon and promoting those in the east end.

Opportunity

•The HSAS offers the opportunity of overcoming the sense of divide between the Inner East and the City Centre.

When walking from the Inner East to the City Centre, and vice-versa, the High Street should not be perceived as a boundary but rather as an opportunity to provide a seamless experience in terms of:

• Challenge The High Street is the home of many contemporary artists and public art, but it lacks a comprehensive vision to support and enhance this sector.

Opportunity

•The recently launched Glasgow Tourism and Visitor Plan to 2023 has identifi ed contemporary visual art as a major pillar to deliver the City’s ambitions.

The HSAS will look at new ways to maximise potential and to instigate change where required – working towards articulating the High Street’s contemporary art vision and connecting with nearby artistic communities such as WASPS fl agship artists’ studios on Alexandra Parade.

High Street Area Strategy Action Plan 8.1 Heritage

#HERITAGE Glasgow Necropolis BUILT HERITAGE The High Street, Saltmarket and surrounding areas comprise the historic heart of Glasgow, with a wide range of historic and medieval assets occupying the Conservation Area. There has been much concern in recent years that the city has not sufficiently celebrated and capitalised on these assets in this unique city quarter.

While the High Street Area Strategy (HSAS) seeks to address these issues through a range of actions across the three main strategic themes, it is acknowledged that there is a significant problem affecting residential and commercial property fabric. Many of these historic properties suffer from varying states of disrepair. Through the HSAS, opportunities for collaborative action will be explored with the property owners, heritage organisations, and other key stakeholders, including City Property Glasgow (Investments) LLP (CPGI) – a key commercial property partner – and Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) – who hold the primary interest in the area’s tenemental stock. However, it must be acknowledged that decades of underinvestment, and a complex ownership position within many of the tenements, present particular risk in terms of achieving a successful outcome for property stock in the area. The first phase of the HSAS will focus on undertaking property-specific assessments and developing an evidence base to inform the wider strategy for property management within the project zone.

CULTURE AND LEISURE The High Street/Saltmarket area benefits from a medieval history and a range of internationally recognised and unique assets which exemplify the outstanding heritage offer and act as a significant draw for tourists and visitors. Key points of interest include Glasgow Cathedral, Provand’s Lordship House and Gardens (the city’s oldest building), St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life and Art, the Tollbooth Steeple, Glasgow Green and the Necropolis.

The High Street Area Strategy will consider how best to promote and take advantage of these assets and improve the visitor experience, and will progress plans for a Heritage Trail to connect points of interest and identify historic landmarks. Historic Glasgow: Built Heritage

Property Improvement Programme: Residential Strategy

Glasgow Housing Association retains an interest in 80 pre-1919 tenements within High Street, Glasgow Cross and the Saltmarket. 84% of blocks are affected by mixed tenure ownership, meaning that GHA have a minority ownership or no more than 50% ownership within approximately 50% of these blocks. Key issues relating to this complex Conservation area High Street Strategy Corridor ownership position include: Historic landmarks a.

GHA has an investment programme for this area and 24 blocks (30%) of the overall programme have been completed to date. The focus so far has been on those blocks with either full or majority GHA ownership.

The workplan has involved fabric refurbishments, followed up by a programme of back court environmental improvements. As part of the Action Plan, GHA will undertake Condition Surveys of all blocks not yet refurbished.

This will identify signifi cant issues, and establish where liability sits. There is an ongoing issue with a lack of funding for this type of property refurbishment. GHA will work with owners and tenants to deliver sustainable and affordable improvements.

It is however acknowledged that without the support of private owners the deliverability of these improvements may be limited. Saltmarket, Glasgow

The HSAS will support CPGI in bringing these units up to a lettable standard, once the appropriate property certifi cation is in place. The units will then move to be marketed using a broader approach to connect with wider audiences and raise the profi le of the area.

For occupied CPGI units on existing FRI leases, these tend to be in varying states of repair. CPGI will engage closely with partners through the High Street Area Strategy in reviewing the nature and extent of any repair issues in occupied properties which are outwith the normal responsibility for tenants, and will work collaboratively with partners and tenants to identify opportunities for action to address such issues.

CPGI will provide match funding to the grants allocated through the HSAS Independent Retail Fund. This match funding will be targeted at existing tenants and common High Street, Commercial Property repairs. 53 Historic Glasgow: Built Heritage

Assessment of Historic Property funding stream Funding Review opportunities for historic property improvements

In line with above commitments to work collaboratively in identifying potential avenues for action, an assessment of funding stream opportunities for historic property improvements will be undertaken, ensuring that potential resource for promoting the area’s built heritage is maximised.

This will engage the full range of partners that will likely require to be considered on an ongoing basis over the lifetime of the HSAS as funding opportunities to help deliver on key objectives are sought.

Consideration will be given to how the High Street Area Strategy can contribute to the Council’s future development of a new Historic Glasgow Strategy.

It is anticipated that the High Street corridor will be designated a “Historic Glasgow Zone” in line with the commitment to establish such districts in the Council’s Strategic Plan, with the various heritage initiatives proposed in this High Street Area Strategy providing strong foundations for the development of this model.

Cathedral Precinct Development Plan

The Cathedral Precinct area contains an array of internationally recognised and unique assets, including Glasgow Cathedral, Provand’s Lordship House and Garden, the culturally significant St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life and Art, and the Necropolis. The area is rich in opportunities to celebrate, and with which the area’s future can be informed.

The HSAS will provide opportunities for organisations in and around Cathedral Precinct to work together to develop a more integrated strategy that better meets the needs of visitors.

Event Plan

Glasgow Life will increase the focus on the Medieval and Historic city assets14; this action will also look to stimulate more innovative use of small open spaces in the project area with event activity and other activation.

Opportunities to contribute to and enhance the cultural vibrancy of the area will be further explored with the local resident and business communities.

#HERITAGECommercial property in High Street, Glasgow 64 SUPPORT TO SMALL AND The emerging Glasgow City Innovation District in the High Street area offers a significant INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES opportunity for the city, with major investment being made by the University of Strathclyde in the Technology Innovation Centre on George Street, in addition to the new Tontine facility managed by GCC.

The High Street Area Strategy will explore opportunities to assist businesses through its Meanwhile Use project which will offer temporary, pop-up opportunities to new and small business, social enterprises, creative industries companies and or communities organisations, through the provision of approximatively ten currently vacant units that will be part of a new “Space for Growth” initiative.

This units will be offered on peppercorn rent to the occupier, ranging from weekly licences to monthly leases, up to a maximum of one year with a review option. It will also be important to engage with the wider business sector in the area. There is a vibrant independent retail scene around the High Street, yet traders have experienced significant commercial pressures in recent years and there is a requirement to work more closely with these enterprises as part of the High Street Area Strategy.

ARTS AND CULTURE With a significant creative industries concentration located in the Merchant City, the presence of the Cultural Enterprise Office in the artistic Barras quarter, with Trongate 103, the Briggait and WASPS artists’ studios operating in the wider area, the Saltmarket and High Street areas have great potential as a creative and cultural hub.

The High Street Area Strategy will explore opportunities to capitalise upon and support this sector, looking at promotional opportunities as well as targeted project initiatives with local stakeholders.

City Property Rent Review: Rental Assistance

City Property Glasgow [Investments] LLP(CPGI) has undertaken a review of current rent levels and vacant retail properties within the area. This has confirmed an ongoing issue with vacant properties in the upper high street area and saltmarket shop ranges.

The Rental Assistance project proposes to:

a. Apply a moratorium that will cover upper High St and Saltmarket on all rent reviews and lease renewals which will be implemented for a period of 2 years. b. Market all current vacant properties within the upper High Street/Duke Street area which are not subject to offer, on a fixed rent basis of £10/sq ft. The duration of this proposal will be the subject of continuous review. This will give prospective occupiers certainty with regards to rental costs for the property as opposed to the current bidding process where tenants are asked to make an offer in excess of an asking Picture: Saltmarket Shops price. 66 Support to small and independent businesses

City Property Tenant Engagement

City Property Glasgow [Investments] LLP (CPGI) is a key member of the High Street working group and is keen to improve relations with tenants with the project area.

The City Property tenant liaison officer will become more proactively engaged with tenants in order to respond effectively to property issues.

The tenant liaison officer will be available to meet tenants on a one to one basis in the first instance to discuss in more detail the issues they have. The City Property technical team will then arrange to visit the premises to establish the tenant’s responsibilities and identify whether there is further assistance which City Property can provide.

Whatever the purpose, Meanwhile Use spaces can be a great way to start addressing the problem of vacant shops and declining high streets.

The HSAS will deliver pop-up opportunities and offer other incentives for meanwhile uses to small and new enterprises.

CPGI will make approximately ten vacant units available for Meanwhile Use activities as part of the “Space for Growth” initiative. This units will be offered on peppercorn rent to the occupier, ranging from weekly licences to monthly leases, up to a maximum of one year with a review option.

68 Support to small and independent businesses

High Street Independent Retail Fund

A previous Independent Retail Fund was developed to assist businesses occupying ground floor units in tenement blocks which were affected by the GHA property refurbishment programme in High Street/ Saltmarket. It provided grant support to retailers for shopfront improvements.

It is proposed to extend the project to include all independent retailers on the High Street and Saltmarket. Budget limitations may impact on the scale of this depending on demand. However the project could be further extended to take in adjacent side streets in the project area.

In addition CPGI will provide match funding to further expand the scope of the Independent Retail Fund (IRF).

Past, Present, Possible – Phase 2

Following the successful first phase of the Past, Present, Possible project, the initiative will be extended to undertake further work with local residents, retailers and other stakeholders.

Opportunities include the potential to develop a programme of events or artists in residency in order to enhance the High Street experience.

This will also help inform the development of the visual identity and heritage trail projects of the HSAS.

70 Arts and Culture

Contemporary Arts Trail

The High Street/Saltmarket area can capitalise on a city centre-wide Contemporary Arts Trail that will highlight notable and publicly accessible works, facilities and events. This trail will draw people into High Street and surrounding areas, creating opportunities for experiences that will change perceptions of the area as well as creating additional footfall for local artists, businesses and existing attractions. The trail will be publicised through a range of media including digitally, and will be developed with the local contemporary arts community.

#HERITAGESt Mungo’s Museum, Glasgow STREETSCENE The High Street Area Strategy will also consider how the physical environment could be improved around Glasgow’s historic heart. Improvements to roads, paving, street layout and street furniture will be explored. A number of concerns have been raised about the volume and speed of traffic crossing the Clyde onto Saltmarket, and on High Street itself. The High Street Area Strategy will require to identify opportunities to further consider these issues, such as via the proposed update to the City Centre Traffic Model, and will need to be cognisant of other developments such as the forthcoming Low Emissions Zone (LEZ).

The HSAS will progress a funding proposal with Sustrans with the objective of securing funding from the Community Links Plus budget, which would enable a comprehensive public realm and active travel improvement scheme to be delivered along the High Street corridor

PLACEMAKING This High Street Area Strategy will also explore opportunities to create a better place for people in and around the project area, whether they are residents, businesses or visitors to the area. City Deal investment and other available funding will be targeted at areas of greatest opportunity, including junction upgrades and small public realm schemes, pocket parks and other “micro” interventions. Smart City infrastructure will also be introduced with the Intelligent Street Lighting project replacing all column-mounted street lighting with LED bulbs, and introducing a wireless network that will enable many potential Smart City initiatives.

Links will be made with other initiatives where possible, such as Ruggedised, (a SMART City ICT, e-mobility and energy solution Horizon 2020 EU project) which, once implemented, will lead to a more secure, renewable, and affordable energy system for the residents and business of Glasgow.

High Street Station redevelopment (City Deal)

As part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal, High Street Station is proposed to be redeveloped. The aim of the project is to ensure the station building provides modern facilities and provide DDA-compatible access to and from the platforms. The project also includes creation of a new plaza in front of the station building to improve the user experience by enhancing the sense of arrival. The scope of the project also aims to address the poor pedestrian access to the station across High Street where possible. The redeveloped station and the associated public realm works will improve the station’s presence at High Street, and support the new emerging developments around the High Street/Duke Street intersection. It will also assist in the aim of expanding the city centre core towards the Inner East. The project team is engaged in ongoing stakeholder consultation, and some technical aspects of the project delivery remain to be resolved in order to comply with both Network Rail and the ORR (Offi ce of Road and Rail) High street Train Station, Glasgow guidance. 75 Public realm and placemaking

Public realm, traffic and lighting improvements

As part of City Deal, interventions will be targeted at junctions where High Street meets off-shooting roads. Junction upgrades will include a complete refurbishment of the public realm in the identified areas incorporating all of the necessary interventions required for surface water management, mobile technology, and to improve accessibility and inclusivity.

The Intelligent Street Lighting (ISL) Project will include the High Street and will provide a dynamic, energy and cost efficient lighting service that can be controlled from a Central Management System (CMS) and meets the needs of the City of Glasgow. The HSAS will also make links with other Smart City initiatives in the area where possible, with initiatives focused on approaches to energy.

The funding application to Sustrans Community Links Plus will determine the scale and scope of the High Street public realm programme, and if approved will be developed as part of the City Deals Avenues Representation of City Deal investment at Glasgow Cross programme. This image is an illustration of potential intervention and not the final design.

Low Emission Zone (LEZ) phased implementation

Glasgow City Council is set to introduce Scotland’s fi rst Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the city centre area by the end of 2018/19, with a two phase approach initially looking at improving bus fl eets, followed by the extension of the LEZ to all other vehicle types. Glasgow’s LEZ will help to protect public health, ensure that the city stops breaching national air quality limits, and help to improve the amenity of the city centre for residents, visitors and businesses.

The fi nal boundary of LEZ for all vehicles is still to be decided, but High Street and Saltmarket will be included in the initial bus LEZ Phase 1 boundary phase. (Buses only).
