Plans submitted for housing
THIRTY new homes could be developed in the south of Glasgow provided developers are given the green light by council planning officials.
The proposed development would create social housing made up of 14 two-bedroom mid-terraces, six three-bed end terraces, five twobed lower cottage flats and five two-bed upper cottage flats on vacant land situated at Kilmuir Crescent.
There is already a mixture of residential homes to the west and housing is currently under construction to the south.
