The property has exceptional views of both the loch and Ben Lomond. Gartochraggan lies just to the north of Gartocharn, a delightful conservation village with its own primary school, coffee shop and post office. Although many of its residents commute to Glasgow, the village has a real community feel.

The modern elements are displayed to great effect through the redevelopment of the kitchen wing which has transformed this aspect of the property.

In addition to the lawns and paddocks a beautiful orchard and kitchen garden can also be found. One of the unique benefits of Gartochraggan is the extent of the property.

  • Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service
    West Dunbartonshrie Council Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service July 2016 Foreword Welcome to the fifth Planning Performance Framework and thank you for your interest in the Planning and Building Standards service in West Dunbartonshire. The Planning Performance Framework outlines our performance and shows our achievements, actions and improvements in 2015-16. It also outlines our proposed service improvements for 2016-17. A different approach to the assessment of last year’s Planning Performance Framework was taken whereby a peer review was undertaken by East Dunbartonshire Council who are part of our Solace Grouping. We also peer reviewed their Planning Performance Framework. Their feedback advised: “ Good example of a well-written, concise PPF report. As a result this is accessible to external stakeholders.” This review and the peer review of the East Dunbartonshire Planning Performance Framework helped shape this year’s Framework. West Dunbartonshire is one of the smallest local authorities in Scotland with just over 90,000 residents and is made up of rural, urban and waterfront locations. The Planning Authority excludes parts of Balloch and the countryside to the east and west of Loch Lomond which forms part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park planning authority area. In 2015 the Senior Management structure of West Dunbartonshire Council was reviewed and a new smaller senior leadership team was created to drive the Council’s priorities from April 2016. Planning and Building Standards now sits under the Strategic Lead for Regulatory having moved from Regeneration and Economic Development. A number of the Council’s key capital projects are progressing well on site such as the new Clydebank leisure centre, the Dumbarton care home and a number of new schools: Bellsmyre co-educational campus; Kilpatrick special needs school; and the Balloch campus.

  • West Dunbartonshire Council
    WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by the Chief Executive Community Participation Committee: 19 November 2008 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Scottish Parliament Constituency Boundaries 1. Purpose 1.1 The Committee, at its meeting on 17 September 2008, requested a background report on the current proposals to amend the constituency boundaries for the Scottish Parliament. 2. Background 2.1 Legislation provides for regular reviews of constituency boundaries and the new boundaries will be in effect for the next Scottish Parliament elections to be held in May 2011. Reviews are carried out by the Boundaries Commission for Scotland. 2.2 The Commission published its provisional proposals for the review on 14 February 2008. These proposals advertised in the local press and notices with explanatory information were lodged for consultation in council offices and main libraries. The proposals were submitted to Council at its meeting of 27 February. They comprise:- 1) linking two of West Dunbartonshire’s wards, Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront, with part of the Renfrewshire Council area to create the North Renfrewshire and Clydebank Burgh Constituency; and 2) joining the Kilpatrick Ward with Dumbarton, Lomond and Leven wards and two wards of Argyll and Bute Council to form the Dumbarton and Helensburgh County Constituency. 2.3 The Council duly objected to the proposals for both constituencies on the grounds that Kilpatrick Ward should not be split from the other two Clydebank wards and that the linking of Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront wards with areas in Renfrewshire Council was anomalous and unacceptable. 2.4 Where a local authority submits an objection to a proposed boundary, a Local Inquiry must be held.

Please note that over the festive period, from Thursday 24 December 2020 to Tuesday 5 January 2021, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority will be closed. If you submit a planning application or correspondence during or after the week commencing 21 December 2020, it will not be processed until after 5 January 2021. Due to staff working from home, this may take longer than under normal circumstances. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The Public Access website, where you can view planning applications and submit comments, has a function where registered users can track planning applications (case tracking). This was not working and has now been fixed, however the ability to receive automatic notifications by email on new applications submitted in a geographic area (saved searches) is still not functioning. Searches can be carried out manually by users in the interim, whilst we are working with our supplier to fix this. In light of ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, we have continued to adapt how we deliver our planning service while our staff are still working remotely. Please see our planning services webpage for full details (https://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/planning/coronavirus-covid-19- planning-services/) and follow @ourlivepark for future updates.
