Officials said said the proposal would “regenerate this derelict area of ground”.
The partners behind the scheme – Moda Living and GDRI – have secured planning permission in principle from Glasgow City Council for the £205m project at Lancefield Quay.
Tony Brooks, Moda Living managing director, said: “With all the fundamentals we look for in a long-term city partner, Glasgow has immense potential and we are thrilled to have been granted outline permission for this key waterside site. Moda, which is also behind the Holland Park project in Glasgow, will now work to secure detailed planning permission. The team behind the plans are promising an on-site gym, co-working hubs and commercial units as well as landscaped public spaces to create a “unique destination”.
They said public consultation ahead of the application was generally positive, with most respondents expressing their support. There were 19 objections to the plans, with concerns over the scale and height of the development, the impact on parking and traffic and a lack of green space. A council official responded: “That’s not something that can be driven by the council on these privately owned sites at this point.”Bailie Thomas Kerr, Conservative, said: “I welcome this application, I know it’s planning permission in principle but I think the idea that some of the areas, particularly down near the Hydro, are still undeveloped is mad to me.”
The council official said the change had been made “given the proximity of the site to the city centre, to train stations at Exhibition Centre and Anderston, and bus routes along Lancefield Quay and the Clydeside Expressway”. There will be around 940 spaces for bikes.
