Martha Wardrop – Update on monstrous plans for Otago Lane I am continuing to support the campaign to save Otago Lane from a monstrous 8-storey flatted development which would destroy the historic lane and wildlife habitats along the River Kelvin. Glasgow City Council planning committee is meeting on 12th June to to consider the development proposal. As a local councillor, I have requested both, a site visit to Otago Lane and a hearing, to enable members of the planning committee to appreciate fully the site’s unique architecture and heritage importance before making a decision… more. |

Pat’s Guide: Glasgow West End – Last ditch delay for Otago Lane City planning councillors will finally carry out a site visit to under-threat Otago Lane, the historic Kelvinbridge community and niche retail enclave where developers aim to build a controversial housing scheme. However despite this minor eleventh-hour concession to the weight of public protest many local objectors fear the hugely unpopular plan has already won tacit approval from the council – and that a lane described as "one of the West End’s last Bohemian quarters" is set to be ruined beyond repair… more. |

Pauline McNeill – Show your suppot for Otago Lane! I have been active in supporting the save Otago Lane campaign. As well as attending meeting I have taken the City Council Planning Dept to task over their application on the rules which apply to the lane in the city. It is my belief that planners are trying to reinterpret the rules in the city plan. Rest assured that I am fighting hard to stop this development as I believe that the development is inappropriate in size and character for the West End. more. |
