Houses will be built on a Glasgow site formerly occupied by a care home.

Spectrum West Ltd gained permission to develop the currently unused land on Baillieston's Muirhead Road.

The documents state: "The site has been recently cleared following the demolition of a former care facility with crushed materials spread evenly throughout.

"There are existing mature trees and shrubs around the perimeter, with a line of four trees to the northern corner of the site."
