Major development on historic Govan Graving Docks given green light
The plans will see 304 new homes built on the former ship repair site
After nearly 40 years of laying derelict, Glasgow's historic Govan Graving Docks are set for redevelopment.
Glasgow City Council has approved plans to build more than 300 homes on the site, marking a significant milestone in the area's regeneration.
The Govan Graving Docks, once a bustling hub for ship repairs since their establishment in the late 19th century, have remained dormant since their closure in 1987.
The approved redevelopment plan, spearheaded by New City Vision, aims to breathe new life into this iconic riverside location.
The approved proposal includes the construction of 304 residential units along the southern boundary of the site, occupying approximately 20% of the overall area.
These homes are said to be designed to complement the site's rich heritage and provide a natural extension to the existing Govan community.
In addition to housing, the development encompasses retail spaces, pathways, and an events area, fostering a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood.
The redevelopment also prioritises the creation of public spaces, including a new park along the River Clyde waterfront.
This green space will feature pedestrian paths, seating areas, and flexible zones for community events.
With the council's conditional approval, construction is anticipated to commence in 2026.
