I was pleased to see so many people at Taylor Wimpey’s presentation on plans for over 300 new homes on the South Scotstoun fields.
Whilst the latest plans are an improvement on what was suggested before, there is still a fundamental lack of support infrastructure proposed. In particular, I’m concerned about the impact on the GP practice as well as the traffic at Ferrymuir. Whilst the developers say they will contribute to the expansion o…f schools and Dalmeny train station, there appear to be no firm commitments.
Taylor Wimpey now say it will submit a formal planning application before Christmas. Both Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP and I will make sure local residents know when and how to make objections when the time comes.
Thanks again to the dozens and dozens of residents who came down to make their concerns known.
