Work is taking place to develop the Westerhill Regeneration Area Framework Masterplan.
Regeneration of the 300-hectare Westerhill site is part of the Council's £34.88 million Place and Growth Programme – supported by the UK and Scottish Governments through the Glasgow City Region City Deal.
The masterplan will be a long-term, overall framework for the development of "land parcels" and will be used as guidance for future planning applications.
It also identifies land for the delivery of the Westerhill Development Road (link opens in new window).
Initial consultation took place between 11 April and 16 May 2023. Further consultation is taking place between 15 April and 6 May 2024. For more information, visit the consultation webpage (link opens in new window).
The Westerhill area is identified as a regeneration site in the Council's adopted Local Development Plan.
Long-term objectives of the masterplan, subject to external funding being secured, include:
- The protection and enhancement of the High and Low Moss areas, and peat soil
- The creation of green links, and health and wellbeing improvements via path accessibility, active travel, public transport and open spaces
- Road improvements
- A potential mix of uses – such as business, research and development, manufacturing and outdoor leisure
- The refurbishment of vacant buildings and improvements to the existing Westerhill Industrial Estate.
Drafting of the Westerhill Masterplan is well progressed. For more information, you can view the report which was considered and approved at a meeting of the Council on 14 December 2023 (external link opens in new window).(link is external)
