en.Wedoany.com Reported - Maryhill Housing Association (MHA) has submitted a planning application to Glasgow City Council for 108 new homes on Collina Street, aiming to redevelop a site that has lain vacant for nearly 20 years since the demolition of the original apartment block in 2007.

MHA is progressing the project in partnership with Transforming Communities: Glasgow (TC:G), a collaboration between Glasgow City Council, Wheatley Group, and the Scottish Government, which oversees eight regeneration projects across the city known as "Transformation Regeneration Areas."

The housing association stated that the proposals would transform this derelict area, locally known as "the Glen," into a new community offering high-quality housing and landscaped areas. The planning application is subject to council approval, and of the 108 proposed new homes, 95 are expected to be affordable housing, including social rent, mid-market rent, and new supply shared equity, with the remaining homes planned for outright sale.

The completed development will include townhouses and apartments, with all new homes featuring private outdoor space and communal landscaped areas. The proposals emphasize placemaking and sustainability, including a new green route through the site, improved connections to surrounding areas, and views of the Forth and Clyde Canal.

Rebecca Wilson, Chief Executive of Maryhill Housing Association, said this is an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into a site that has been vacant for too long. The proposals focus on delivering much-needed energy-efficient homes while creating an attractive and accessible place to live. She believes the mix of housing tenures will help foster a balanced and sustainable community in Maryhill.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Glasgow City Council's Convener for Housing, Development, and Land Use, added that if approved, the project would bring nearly 100 much-needed affordable homes to Maryhill while regenerating a site that has long impacted the city's landscape.
