Bid to build new apartments and houses on derelict site near Celtic Park

Thenue Housing Association wants to construct the new flats and houses on a brownfield site on Connal Street.

The development would be made up of 19 apartments and a further 22 houses.

The application states: “A number of vacant brownfield sites still remains in the area, with some recent planning consents indicating further residential developments.

“This site however, being prominent along Springfield Road and on-route from the Commonwealth Village and the National Indoor Sports Area (NISA) to Dalmarnock Cross train station and City Centre thereof, stands out and development of it would be a welcome addition to regeneration of Dalmarnock and East End of Glasgow.”

The site used to be home to a primary school, and later as a playground.
