Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL Application Summary Application Number: 20/02110/FUL Address: Site Formerly Known As 10 Kelbourne Street Glasgow Proposal: Erection of flatted residential development (39no. units) and associated parking. Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Miss Jean Shepheard Address: Flat 6/1, 80 Oban Drive, Glasgow G20 6EN Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The proposed design of this residential development is definitely not in keeping with the surrounding buildings. It would be far too high thus reducing light and privacy to present residents, especially those in Kelbourne Street. It would be more appropriate to erect houses, such as those further up Queen Margaret Drive. The sunlight in the playparks would be substantially reduced, especially in the Queen Margaret Drive area. From late August this playpark would be completely in the shade. Furthermore both playparks would be very closely overlooked by residents, plus would residents enjoy the cries of delight coming from the children and teenagers? If this inappropriate design goes ahead - and I sincerely hope it does not - it should be at least 4 stories lower.

Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Dr Kathryn Elmer Address: 958A Maryhill Road, Glasgow G20 7TA Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:Hello - I object to this building as too tall for the location. It is beside a very well used park and will be too dominating and cutting off sunlight to the park and remove lines of sight. It should be much more modest in height and take into account the public good it sits beside.

Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Ms Kirsty Forsyth Address: Flat 2/1, 21 Kelbourne Street, Glasgow G20 8PE Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:As a resident on Kelbourne Street, I am concerned about the impact that the building as it currently stands would have on the surrounding area. The building is taller than the surrounding flats. It will obscure the open views that we currently have and will undoubtedly block light from the street. There are not enough car parking spaces for every flat and due to size of flats I would expect some of these flats to have more than one car. We already have a problem with insufficient and dangerous parking in the area. The drainage in the area is already poor and the street regularly floods in bad weather. I feel bad the size of the building is much larger than the site can reasonably sustain. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL Application Summary Application Number: 20/02110/FUL Address: Site Formerly Known As 10 Kelbourne Street Glasgow Proposal: Erection of flatted residential development (39no. units) and associated parking. Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Ms L Fraser Address: 3 Lansdowne Crescent, Glasgow G20 6NQ Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I object to the proposed building of Botanic Apartments at the 10 Kelbourne Street site. I am a resident nearby and use the 'Happy Park' next to the site every day with my children. We enjoy the park with its open outlook and the light and sun you can get there. While there was an expectation there may be a development on the former church site, it is reasonable to expect that it would not be allowed to impose and ruin the experience within the park for many members of the public and our children. The proposed building is not in keeping with the conservation area and does not reflect the buildings around it, or the building it is replacing in terms of character or footprint. Worse than that it is far too high and wide, and would seriously impact the light (and therefore enjoyment of experience) available to both the park and the existing flats opposite. Balconies directly overlook the playpark at close proximity which is also not desirable. The traffic and parking in the area is already terrible, and will again be worse once the new school opens. To put into a plan that there will be 39 flats but only provide 27 parking spaces is absolutely irresponsible and clearly demonstrates the building is too big for the area, and the developer is purely trying to fit as many flats into the space as possible despite the consequences for residents and the wider public. The building will tower over and surround the park and the existing buildings. It should be lower, with fewer flats and parking spaces for each flat provided. Please consider the negative impact on health, safety and wellbeing allowing this application would create.

Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Ms louise Joyce Address: Flat 2/1, 18 Hotspur Street, Glasgow G20 8NN Comment Details Commenter Type: Other Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The size of the plans do not match surroundings ie original tenement buildings in the area are 4 floors. Why is this build 7 floors ? It will; block light & the open view from my flat opposite, bring noise, pollution & may damage foundations on a mining site (I have heard about Fergus drive). The site is next to a conservation area that should be protected. There is already a large construction taking place (Maryhill school) behind my flat, this plan means more noise pollution, traffic, construction in a small area (incl Fergus drive). I have been informed by a local agent the build will negatively affect my property price. There are not enough parking spaces for the number of units. This means those living/ visiting will add cars to an area already blocked with vehicles. There is a risk to safety of children in the adjacecent play park. I am not opposed to the site being regenerated but it must be respectful of existing residents in terms of noise, light, obstructing a view. It should be on a far smaller scale to match other tenement flats & the architecture of the local conservation area. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL Application Summary Application Number: 20/02110/FUL Address: Site Formerly Known As 10 Kelbourne Street Glasgow Proposal: Erection of flatted residential development (39no. units) and associated parking. Case Officer: Ross Middleton Customer Details Name: Mr Marco Avarucci Address: Flat 1/1, 3 Kelbourne Street, Glasgow G20 8PE Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:1. The site was home to the former North Kelvinside Paris Church, demolished in 1987 due to subsidence caused by undermining. A visual inspection of the site suggests that the area on the corner between Kelbourne street and Queen Margaret Drive (hereinafter QMD) was the most affected by subsidence. The position of the two rotary holes (Coal Mine Risk Assessment) indicates that the aforementioned area might have not been closely investigated. 2. The development site is located at the edge of the Glasgow West Conservation Area. Because of its footprint, height, scale, massing and density, the proposed building would be overdevelopment of the site and so would not respect its historic context but would detract from the special character of the area. 3. The proposed building would be cramped on limited space and would overshadow the whole neighborhood. It would obstruct to an unacceptable degree the amount of light coming through the windows of, and the level of light inside, existing tenement flats around it. The four-storey tenements of flats facing the gap site in Kelbourne Street will not only suffer a significant loss of natural lights, but also an unacceptable loss of privacy because of the balconies and the rooftop garden. 4. The car park is estimated to have more than 100 daily movements (Air Quality Assessment, 4.4.) leading to an expected significant impact on the on traffic and on the local ambient air quality at nearby residential areas. Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 places a statutory duty on local authorities to periodically review and assess the air quality within their area. This involves consideration of present and likely future air quality against air quality standards and objectives. The impact on air quality of the proposed development should be assessed not only against the present situation but should also consider the cumulative impact of the ongoing nearby developments (primary school in QMD and Flats in Fergus Drive).

  • Simd Analysis: Future Projections
    SIMD ANALYSIS: FUTURE PROJECTIONS 1. Background and Introduction 1.1. This paper analyses the reasons behind the recent decline of deprivation in Glasgow, projects these trends towards 2015, and comments on their likely implications. It is based on a presentation made to the Community Planning Executive Group on 2nd June 2010, which itself came from a series of events held in autumn 2009/spring 2010, involving over 120 people from council and non- council organisations in Glasgow. 1.2. The gains Glasgow made in reducing its share of Scotland’s deprivation have been the result of long-term trends that have been operating over the last two or more decades. Identifying both the trends that led to the current situation, and those currently in operation which can reasonably be presented as being influential in Glasgow towards 2015, form the basis of the projections in this paper. The main indicator used has been the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), and the analysis of three waves (2004, 2006 and 2009) has been supported by the use of other indicators. Looking at the absence of deprivation as well as at areas defined by deprivation includes all communities and gives a rounded analysis of the city. 1.3. The trends that have shaped the city at present are long-term and have been in operation since the 1990s, if not earlier. It follows that trends that can be identified in the present day will be those that influence the city by 2015. Their general direction has been to accelerate Glasgow’s development to its current position as a representative medium-sized western European city.

    The Children’s WoodADD Glasgow, Scotland The Research Agency of the An urban community informally using a small woodland in public ownershipForestry for Commissioneducational purposes while campaigning to secure it from development The Children’s Wood This case study is one of a set written as part of a Forest Research project. Some case studies are written by the community group, others by researchers who visited and interviewed group members, but they have all been validated and endorsed by the community groups. Forest Research developed a standard method for describing the case studies, outlined in Lawrence and Ambrose-Oji, 2013 “A framework for sharing experiences of community woodland groups” Forestry Commission Research Note 15 (available from www.forestry.gov.uk/publications). The case study comprises three parts: 1. The Group Profile provides essential information about the form and function of the community woodland group. Profiles were prepared following the methodology 2. The Change Narrative which documents key moments in the evolution of the community woodland group with a particular focus on the evolution of engagement and empowerment 3. The Engagement and Impacts Timeline documents milestones in the development of the community woodland group, its woodland and any assumed or evidenced impacts. The case studies collectively provide a resource which documents the diversity and evolution of community woodland groups across Scotland, Wales and England. The method ensures that the case studies are consistent and can be compared with each other. We welcome further case studies to add to this growing resource.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.
