In the early 1990s Jordanhill College merged with the University of Strathclyde which still owns the campus. The University decided to relocate its activities from the Jordanhill Campus to their City Centre Campus and in 2000 began the process of redevelopment of the Jordanhill Campus by selling an area of land for housing to the south and north of the current site. In 2007 a Campus Plan was prepared, updated in 2008, setting out the principles for redevelopment of the site for housing, while maintaining the sports pitches and addressing issues such as public transport, including a possibility of the formation of a railway station at Westbrae Drive, funded by SPT with a financial contribution also from any housing developer. The aspirations of the Campus Plan for redevelopment of the campus were recognised in the City Plan 2 which was adopted in 2009, where the overall site designation was changed from educational use to Residential and Greenspace use. PAGE 2 17/00531/DC In 2011 the University submitted an application for Planning Permission in Principle for residential use for the campus (Application 11/00794/DC). This was approved by Committee in 15 January 2013, subject to conditions and to section 75 legal agreements whereby the University would enter into an agreement with Glasgow City Council to maintain public access to the sports pitches and agree a Sports Pitches Management Plan, and undertake to maintain the areas designated as greenspace, subject to detailed analysis of the designation boundaries. The legal agreements were not actively pursued by the University until late 2016, due to the condition of the housing market. The legal agreements were finally concluded in January 2017 and the decision notice was then issued. The Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) was, as is usual procedure, granted subject to conditions relating to the detailed landscaping and layout of the site, design and layout of the buildings, flood risk and drainage, transport and ecological assessments. The list of conditions is reproduced in Appendix 1. Listed building consent would be required for works to convert the listed David Stow building. Although no number of dwellings was specified, the Transport Assessment was based on an assumption of 370 units and thus one of the conditions on the PPP consent was that a fresh Transport Assessment would be required if numbers proposed exceeded this. An indicative layout was submitted with the application showing broad brush areas of potential development but this was not binding. In March 2017 application was made for Matters Specified in Conditions, and this is the current application under consideration. The principle of redevelopment for residential use has therefore been approved but the conditions attached to the 2011 permission continue to apply, and the details thereby required by these conditions are now being considered. The Matters Specified in Conditions seeks to discharge the following conditions: 02, 06, 07, 09; other conditions are ongoing requirements or remain to be discharged prior to the commencement of works on site. Representations In total 486 letters of representation, almost all objections, were received in relation to this application. 73 of these were received before the expiry of the 28 day period for public comment. Jordanhill Community Council had indicated to neighbours that the date for public comments had been extended to 21 April 2017 and a further 395 letters were received before this date. 18 late comments were also received after this date. As well as letters of objection from neighbouring residents, representations from the undernoted were also received: Councillor Dalton Carol Monaghan MP Councillor McLean Broomhill Parent Council Whiteinch Community Council Jordanhill Community Council Jordanhill School Glasgow West End Woodcraft Folk The grounds of objection covered the following main issues, which will be addressed further in this report: • Traffic and congestion, including criticism of the applicant’s Transport Assessment • Noise and air pollution • Construction traffic impact on residential streets • Health impacts of construction • Provision of cycle routes within and through the site • Traffic calming within the site • Internal layout of streets • Accessibility for emergency services • Public transport provision • Proposals are contrary to Campus Plan 2 • Impact on local infrastructure e.g. community facilities and shops • Loss of greenspace • Impact on wildlife and biodiversity • Impact on retention and management of the existing sports pitches 2 PAGE 3 17/00531/DC • Access to greenspace and sports pitches during construction • Impact on the setting of the listed David Stow building • Lack of provision of social housing/range of tenures • Impact of new development on visual amenity of area • Overlooking and overshadowing of neighbouring properties • Design and materials of proposed development including energy efficiency • Impact on dark skies area • Lack of communication and consultation with local community • Support for Jordanhill Community Council’s “Community value proposition”; need for further community benefit • Alternative community uses for the existing buildings should be investigated • Increase in number of dogs – pressure on facilities • Land boundary is incorrect • Position of buildings close to Jordanhill School is inappropriate • Impact on house prices • Standard of existing CALA homes in the area is poor • Timescale for construction should be limited • Criticism of the timescales for processing applications from PPP to MSC Comments on the conversion of the listed building will be considered specifically in the application for Listed Building Consent (17/00530/DC). Consultations: Consultee responses were received from the following: Scottish Water Further impact assessments required.

The site slopes steeply up from east to west. Site levels vary from 23 metres AOD near Southbrae Drive to approx. 44.52 metres AOD at the top of the western escarpment. To the east lies Jordanhill School buildings; to the north, south and west are residential houses and flats. The site is currently occupied by buildings and structures which were used by the Jordanhill College of Education (now part of the University of Strathclyde) as well as sports pitches, some of which are leased to Jordanhill School, and areas of formal and informal woodland. The most recent housing developments adjacent lie to the south and north of the site on land formerly part of the College estate. Existing buildings to be retained are the B listed David Stow Building, which is proposed for conversion to residential use, and two other buildings, Graham House and Douglas House, to be retained for residential use. The other more modern university buildings on site are to be demolished and a variety of new buildings, in the form of flats, detached buildings, and two and three storey terraced houses, are to be provided: a total of 408 units. Areas of landscaping and existing trees and woodland will be largely retained. Existing sports pitches on the site remain in the ownership of the University of Strathclyde. Some of the pitches are leased to Jordanhill School and the remaining pitches will 3 PAGE 4 17/00531/DC become available for community use; this will be managed through a Sports Pitch Management Plan to be drawn up between the University and Glasgow City Council, thus complying with the section 75 agreement attached to the grant of planning permission in principle 11/00794/DC.

Printed in Belgium FOREWORD There can be little doubt that history will remember the twentieth century for the recognition of the importance of the first years in a child’s development. Work carried out in the field of genetic psychology throughout this century has profoundly changed the traditional view of early childhood: previously essentially a subject of care, for the most part, the young child has become the subject of education. For several years, pre-school education has been a topic of discussions which have dealt not only with the issue of the place of women in society, but also with the role which attendance at institutions with an edupational purpose can play in the development of young children and in their subsequent integration into school. The importance of the issue is recognised by the relevant authorities in all the Member States of the European Union, and measures aimed at the development of this level of education are being taken by most of them. Knowing the extent to which this question is being discussed, the Task Force Human Resources, Education, Training and Youth of the European Commission has had this study of it undertaken.

  • David Stow: Christian Educator in Nineteenth Century Scotland
    Journal of Religious Education (2020) 68:233–247 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40839-020-00103-9 David Stow: Christian educator in nineteenth century Scotland Stephen J. McKinney1 Published online: 2 July 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The educational work of David Stow evolved in three phases. He established a Sabbath school and helped to introduce both infant schooling and teacher training in Glasgow, Scot- land in the nineteenth century. He helped to establish the Glasgow Normal Seminary and later he joined the Free Church of Scotland Normal Seminary. Stow was a committed Pres- byterian Christian, and this motivated him and was at the centre of all of the three phases of his educational work. He was dedicated to the school education of the poor, similar to other educators of his time. He understood this mission to the poor as a means to res- cue them from the corrupting infuences in their urban settings. The corrupting infuences would be replaced, however, by social control and the promotion of Christianity. This arti- cle presents an examination of the close links between his strongly held Christian beliefs, Christian worldview and his vision of schooling and teacher preparation. Keywords David Stow · Glasgow Normal Seminary · Religious education · Bible 1 Introduction The name David Stow (1793–1864) is known in the city of Glasgow because the Stow Col- lege that was opened in 1934 was named after him. This is located not far from the centre of the city and is now named the Stow Building, School of Fine Art Studios and Workshops of the Glasgow School of Art.

I am well aware that a lot of Scots want Independence but there are also a lot that don't. On a decision like this I'd like to see that for Scotland to go Independent then 50+% of Scots must vote for Independence. However it is still my view that this is not the time for Scotland to pursue Independence but what I think doesn't really matter.

Stow’s aim in education was to educate the whole person and that entailed the physical, intellectual and moral. This was a vision he put into practice. This short article provides an overview of the work of David Stow. David Stow was born in Paisley on the 17th May 1793. He was a pupil at Paisley Grammar and entered into business with his brother-in-law in 1811, aged 18. Six years later he was a partner in Wilson, Stow and Company, a silk firm. He lived and worked in Glasgow and he became very anxious about the serious impact of poverty on the lives and moral character of children in the densely populated city. He was motivated by his Christian faith and was influenced by Dr. Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) who was appointed Church of Scotland minister to the Tron Church in 1815 and then in 1819 to St. John’s. Stow became an elder of St. John’s Church and opened a Sabbath School in the Saltmarket in Glasgow in 1816.
