Mews development to improve kerb appeal of a litter-strewn West End lane

The team behind a planned mews development at Sandyford Place Lane in Glasgow's West End have doubled down on their proposals for a detached dwelling by progressing a second application for a pair of semi-detached properties.

The latest proposals from Klash Properties and Ink Design show plans for two homes on a brownfield site on the edge of the Park conservation area, each incorporating an integral garage and private amenity.

In a planning statement, Ink wrote: "Currently Sandyford Place Lane, in particular the eastern half of the lane, is a mess in comparison to the other lanes within the immediate area. Bins are left out, overflowing, causing a nuisance and health & safety concern.

"The introduction of the proposed dwelling on the lane will only enhance the lane and act as a catalyst for additional development helping create a safe and secure environment, providing all-round surveillance stopping loitering, anti-social behaviour and littering and helping form a community similar to the Berkley Terrace Lane Association."

Finished in natural sandstone under a slate roof to enhance the mews character of the lane the application stresses the need to restore uniformity to an area subject to ad hoc development and office car parking.

Please note that this is a separate application for a separate site opposite the August proposal. Not the same site as stated in a previous version of this article.

Not terrible but rather suburban, low rent and achingly unambitious in a vibrant high value inner city area.
