An impressive Glasgow development could change the face of a Glasgow area.
Maryhill Housing Association (MHA) submitted a planning application as part of their ongoing North Neighbourhood Masterplan.
The papers detail how housing, infrastructure and landscaping would elevate Summerston/Gilshochill area and create a "new residential neighbourhood".
If successful, the scheme would include a mixture of tenures and types of homes, such as townhouses, cottage flats and accommodation for the elderly.
The bid stated the scheme should be "adaptable to changing and diverse housing needs, including through varying house sizes, provision for older people, accessibility and affordability".
Details are not yet known but the building will be two- or three stories and the existing blocks of flats on Shishkine Drive and Sandbank Street would be retained.

Along with the buildings, community spaces, paths and green spaces are also planned.
The masterplan also includes play parks. The application said these "would provide formal play for older children, with informal and incidental play forming part of pedestrian routes".
The bis also has a special focus on active travel and surface water management.
Documents contain two versions of the plan, one with Ledgowan Hall in its current place and one if the hub was moved.
The applicant said: "Consultations to date have indicated a strong desire to preserve Ledgowan Hall.
"There are no plans to close the hall, however including the masterplan option to show what could be built if the hall was no longer in its current location affords the opportunity to consider potential additional housing as part of the wider neighbourhood."
The planning application is being considered by Glasgow City Council officials and a decision is expected by Tuesday, July 16.
