In addition to the sustainable housing, the application also outlines landscaping, open space, parking and associated drainage and infrastructure at the site.

Urban Union acquired the land, located between Shawholm Crescent and Shawbridge Street, in 2017.

Work is due to start on the 5.74 acre site later this summer, based on a design from award-winning architects Barton Willmore.

Neil McKay, managing director, Urban Union, said: “Our plans for Pollokshaws Living will create a number of high quality homes and apartments.

“We are confident the local community will be immensely proud of the new urban village.”
