What massive new Glasgow neighbourhood could look like in Sighthill
Papers detail that after a review, applicant Keepmoat is bidding to build 1164 homes as part of the latest phase of the Sighthill Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA), as opposed to the previous 826 planned.
The work would continue the £250million project and focus on the connectivity of the North Glasgow site, including on foot, by bike and by car.
Documents reveal that this latest wave of housing would be located at the site bound by Pinkston Road, Pinkston Drive, Sighthill Park and Fountainwell Road.
The application states: "Our master plan focuses on people - new residents, visitors and people passing through Sighthill.
"It incorporates places that foster community interaction, activity, both at large neighbourhood scale and at small, intimate scale."
Some of the homes are planned to be for mid-market rent, while others would be for sale.

The applicant emphasised that this proposal includes the creation of new footpaths and roads and promotes sustainability.
Part of the scheme would be Civic Boulevard, a "set-piece of infrastructure that is much more than a street but a place in its own right".
If successful, it would have pedestrian and cycling spaces, drainage systems and play areas.
According to the bid, the application "sets out a fantastic vision that provides a blueprint for the Sighhill community".
The Sighthill TRA is the biggest project of its type in the UK outside of London and over 100 homes have already been built.
Glasgow City Council officials are reviewing this application and a decision is expected by Friday, August 29.
The last day for comments is Friday, May 30.
