INTRODUCTION

SITE: Site bounded by Carrick St/ Crimea St/ Brown St, Glasgow, G2 8PW

Valeo Management Europe is seeking engagement from the community on plans to redevelop a current commercial site for a proposed mixed-use development.

Under our proposals, detailed planning permission is sought for: “The Demolition of existing buildings and erection of Purpose Built Student Accommodation (Sui-Generis) including Commercial Unit, landscaping and associated works”.

Our proposals ensure The Glasgow City Mission building will be retained and woven into the design which create a fitting backdrop for the current structure.

The structures on the site which are to be demolished include a vacant former warehouse

The development will seek to repair the city block and fragmented urban fabric whilst acting as a catalyst for regeneration in the wider Broomielaw area

An approval for planning permission in principle currently exists on the site under planning reference 21/03803/PPP for an office which is now at odds with council desires for a mixed use Broomielaw to help activate the riverside (image below).
