East Dunbartonshire Council’s planning board voted through the plans by Springfield Properties for the Lillyburn Works site, in Milton of Campsie.

Derelict buildings on the site have long been a safety concern for residents.

The development will include 10 terraced, 14 semi-detached and 28 detached homes, ranging from two to four bedrooms.

The plans have been welcomed by Campsie and Kirkintilloch North councillor David Ritchie.

He said: “I’m delighted this eyesore will be sorted, it’s really good news for the community of Milton of Campsie.”
