Cruden Homes has won planning consent to build 56 homes as part of the Toryglen Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA) in Glasgow, subject to a survey for contaminants such as mine gas.

Rising on land east of Prospecthill Road the development will be accessible off a single spine road fronted by semi-detached homes, with perpendicular terraced housing fanning out to the northwest to exploit solar energy. Design proposals by Hypostyle Architects ensure end terrace properties provide passive surveillance.

In a design statement, the practice wrote: “The proposed houses adopt the architectural language and materials used elsewhere within the previous phases of development at Toryglen within the TRA to create a unified character and to reinforce a tenure blind approach to development.

“All housing will be two storeys in height with dual-pitched roofs. Primary elevational materials will be a combination of facing brick and render. The roofs will have dark grey concrete tiles to match previous phases.”

Phase 4 of the overall masterplan is the last site to be developed with frontage to Prospecthill Road following the demolition of 1960s-era properties.

They just look so dull. No imagination at all.
