Plans to build a new community on the site of the Govan Graving Docks are being brought forward.
Hundreds of new homes could be constructed on the historic site if plans are given the green light by Glasgow City Council.
Up to 310 new homes would be constructed, taking up less than 20% of the overall site and forming part of the broader regeneration plans.

Following a consultation last summer, developers have revised the proposals to incorporate feedback from the local community and have included a commercial unit that will serve the new and surrounding communities.
Harry O’Donnell, Chairman of New City Vision, said: “We are thrilled to bring forward plans for the creation of a vibrant community at the Govan Graving Docks. The revised proposals are the product of our consultation with the community last summer and I am pleased that we have been able to incorporate their feedback and include a commercial space within the development.
“Forming one component of our wider vision for the site, the residential proposals sit alongside our wider regeneration project, which includes the restoration of the Dock No1 for historic ship repair, the creation of a new riverside park, and the historic pumphouse building reactivated into a venue for community use, sympathetic to the site’s heritage.
"Following constructive dialogue with Glasgow City Council, a new Proposal of application Notice has been submitted to the council’s planning department, allowing us to further build on our engagement with the community at our upcoming consultation events.
"I would encourage anyone with an interest in the proposals to attend and leave their thoughts on our proposals with the project team.”
Members of the public will be able to have their say on the updated proposals at events on June 1 and July 20 at the Riverside Hall between 12:30 – 4:30pm and The Pearce Institute between 5:30 – 7:30pm.
The opportunity to view the proposals and submit comments is also available via the project website www.govangravingdocks.com/housing-community.
