Plans for a huge £95million multi-use residential development in Glasgow have been submitted.

Glasgow Enlightenment revealed that they have lodged a planning application with Glasgow City Council for Collegelands Park following a successful three-month community consultation period.

The new development in the city's Calton would include a 2.5-acre park and a contemporary arts centre.

It would also feature two new student accommodation blocks with 591 beds in total and 147 rented apartments.

The new neighbourhood will be built on the last gap site of the popular Collegelands development, which was launched more than 20 years ago to help regenerate the Calton area, attracting new residents and creating local jobs.

Paul O’Donnell of Glasgow Enlightenment said: “It’s great to share the final vision for Collegelands Park and I’d like to thank everyone who came along to our consultation meetings and gave us their views on how the development could best serve the local community.

“We have lowered the heights of the buildings to address concerns around visual impact and have taken on board the feedback on how the park should look from local residents and community groups.

“We are very excited about plans for the development, which will deliver new green space, cultural activities and rented accommodation for the local community, along with much-needed homes for students in Glasgow, which has the largest shortage of purpose-built student accommodation in the UK.

“It will offer a real opportunity for students to develop lasting ties with the city and become part of the local community.”

The arts facility in the development would be built by the charity Dream Machine Productions.

The new venue at Collegelands Park will offer hireable event space, a community lounge and a café, opening out to the courtyard with “Happy to Chat” benches, free Wi-Fi, charging points and spaces that encourage outdoor remote working.

Dream Machine founder Matt Lygate said: “We have been renting our present space for a long time but it will be amazing to have our own purpose-built hub where we can host meetup groups, provide space for community events, put on a year-round public relaxation programme and become a home for many other community projects bringing value to us all.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create an incredible venue, which will make a real difference to the lives of the people in the Calton area.

“This facility is key to fostering the incredible talent of people in this part of Glasgow – the local people, students who are living here while they are studying, artists and musicians.”

The good cause is currently working on securing funding for the building.

The Collegelands regeneration project was launched in 2004 in a bid to bring new homes and opportunities to the Calton area of the city.

It is known as 'one of Scotland’s most successful mixed-use developments' with a thriving community, a new Moxy hotel, offices, homes and shops.

Graeme Bone of Glasgow Enlightenment added: “It will be great to see the new park and the art facility being built at Collegelands Park, a really fitting legacy for all the hard work that has been done over the past 20 years to develop this vibrant new neighbourhood and green space in the city.”
