About
Central to our vision for the Docks as a vibrant attraction for the local community, the wider city population and tourists, is the development of a riverside park and greenspace.
In early 2023, Glasgow City council was awarded £2.4m from the Scottish Government’s Vacant and Derelict Land Investment Programme to help deliver the greenspace on the docks.
With the ultimate goals to transfer this element of the site into community ownership, we are delivered co-design workshops with Central Govan Action Plan (CGAP) to ensure that the community has an active role in shaping the design of this critical aspect of our proposal.
The Proposals
This main of objective of this project is to provide an area of open space at the riverside that is accessible to all. The riverside area will promote biodiversity, create new habitats and build and strengthen nature networks and the connections between them.
The conservation of the docks will underpin a landscaping approach to the public realm, and it is envisaged that the riverside area will significantly enhance the biodiversity of the site.
Timescale
In October 2024, we submitted applications for Planning Permission and Listed building Consent to Glasgow City Council. It is anticipated the applications will be determined in early 2025.
