Miller Homes said there is a “shortage of housing in the area”
Developers behind an “abhorrent” plan to build homes on greenbelt land in a Glasgow village have been criticised for “putting profit over the planet”.
“Carmunnock is the oldest and last remaining village in Glasgow,” he said. “It has a rich history and heritage dating back to the 6th century and I feel the proposal of a new housing development on greenbelt land jeopardises its integrity. As the site crosses the boundary of Glasgow and South Lanarkshire, it is expected applications would be made to both planning authorities. A proposal of application notice was submitted in Glasgow in October.
“However, we have experienced planning approval being given in the recent past, where a review committee ignored their own planning officials advice regarding the city’s policy.” Cllr Catherine Vallis and Cllr John Carson, Labour, said residents were concerned about “the protection of the greenbelt, road safety issues and their village status”.
In response to the concerns, Miller Home said it takes its “environmental responsibilities very seriously and much planning and consideration is put into our developments to protect surrounding natural habitats for communities to continue to enjoy, as well as delivering quality, energy efficient homes”.
