In 2006 the Association received outline planning consent from East Dunbartonshire for our Masterplan for Hillhead. The views and comments from tenants and residents at the community workshops and open days were all considered as part of our proposals which included some radical redesign of the area:-
•Construction of up to 190 new homes
•Demolition of 186 flats
•Creation of 2 Homezones
•Redesign and new roads at Ivanhoe Drive, Border Way and Abbotsford Drive
•Newbuild homes for gap site at Lammermoor Road
•All homes to be built to meet Housing for Varying Needs Standard
•All homes to be built to meet Secured by Design Standard
•New play and recreational areas
•Principles of sustainable design will be incorporated throughout
To date we have built 105 new homes with a further 87 new homes due to be completed in March 2013 at our last newbuild development at Ivanhoe Drive, Border Way and Abbotsford Drive
