2 M74 MOTORWAY BELLSHILL ROAD PROPOSED SITE WILKIE ROAD POTENTIAL PHASE 2 PHASE 1

3 The Proposal Site Plan Bellshill Road, Uddingston The proposal covers both the former Alexandra Workwear Factory at Bellshill Road, Uddingston which extends to 7.91 acres and the adjacent site which links through towards Wilkie Road. The vacant factory and associated industrial buildings, will be demolished as part of the works. The proposal is for a housing development of 2 storey 2 and 3 bedroom semi-detached and 3, 4 and 5 bedroom detached family homes. The capacity of Phase 1 will be in the region of 60 units, subject to the final mix and size of homes. Potential Phase 2 will cover the adjacent site has capacity for around 30 units, again subject to the final mix and size of homes selected during the consultation and design process. A proposed development of around 84 units, with 55 in Phase 1, and a potential Phase 2 for 29 units. These numbers may be subject to change during the consultation process. Phase 1 is located within the rectangular portion of the site bounded by Bellshill Road on the north and the M74 Carriageway on the east. The geometry and proportion of the site has allowed the proposal to be designed in distinct zones which aim to provide safe, smaller scale shared spaces for clusters of houses. Each cluster has dedicated open space providing open amenity space in smaller, more manageable groups. The open green amenity spaces are evenly spaced throughout the site and are highly accessible. There is an ambition to increase site connectivity and permeability by providing linkages to adjacent sites, where possible, subject to ownership and compatible function. The M74 Motorway is currently highly screened by a mature tree belt which provides separation. We would seek to retain this tree-belt as far as possible and strengthen it where applicable to increase screening and assist the acoustic separation. Other existing trees within the site will be retained and incorporated into the layout where possible following relevant surveys to establish the health and condition of the trees. The layout will make allowance for a SUDS strategy within the site. Vehicular access is from Bellshill Road. Phase 2 will connect directly with phase 1 and will follow the same design principals.
