PLANS have been unveiled for new homes on the site of a former primary school in the Govan area of Glasgow.

Linthouse Housing Association was to build 49 homes on Shieldhall Road for social rent. They have asked Glasgow City Council for permission to change the use from primary school site to residential development. They also want to demolition the majority of the existing school building.

Drumoyne Primary School previously occupied the site but it closed in 2010. The school merged with the neighbouring Elder Park and Pirie Primary to become Pirie Park Primary.

The school building has also fallen into a state of significant decline due to neglect and a fire in 2016.

City planners are expected to make a decision on the proposal by October 19.
