Plans to build a new care home in Anniesland have been given the green light — despite almost 40 objections from neighbours.
officials to approve Morrison Community Care’s proposal to provide a 58-bed residential home on land at Yarrow Recreation Ground.consent has been secured, landowners BAE Systems are set to sell the clubhouse and a remaining bowling green to Yarrow Bowling Club for just £1.
Morrison Community Care will buy the land from BAE Systems and intends to provide a community garden, private residents’ garden with a putting green, a cafe, champagne bar, hair salon and cinema room. Others claimed the proposed building would be too close to existing homes and four-storey height is “unacceptable.” Among the 38 objectors, were three Glasgow councillors: Cllr Eunis Jassemi and Cllr Patricia Ferguson, both Labour, and Cllr Lana Reid-McConnell, Green.
However, he said officials did not believe the site was being over developed. “The design is quite holistic,” he said. “The massing of that building has been broken up, the impact on neighbours has been assessed. “It is sufficiently distanced from the neighbours, it’s got the right amount of car parking, it’s got enough amenity space that it can actually give publicly accessible amenity space. We think that four-storey is acceptable even though that’s a little bit taller than anything else.
