Hundreds of wetland homes proposed for Gartcosh
May 19 2025
Hundreds of houses within the Seven Lochs Wetland Park are to be built under new plans filed by Avant Homes.
The developer has purchased green field land near Gartcosh, south of Bishop Loch, for the scheme which sits within a network of nature reserves and walking routes east of Glasgow.
Allocated as a residential development location in the City Plan the 16.2 hectare site will present a woodland buffer to the road with new homes following the topography of the land outwith identified flood zones.
In a design statement, the developer wrote: "The choice to reflect a mix of 2-storey and 2 ½ storey height throughout the development was to create interest surrounding corner turner plots, and additionally add to the makeup of the street scene.
"... a good spread has been achieved, with no one house type dominating any specific area. Arranging the plots in this way will enhance street scenes and prevent any regimented, repetitive runs of houses."
249 detached, semi-detached and terraced houses are planned with shared surface feature junctions to integrate pockets of green space. A large open area to the north east will integrate with existing walking routes.
A network of 'buffer' green spaces will connect to surrounding wetlands
