Barmulloch shopping precinct to expand local retail provision
March 24 2022
KG Property with Kearney Donald Partnership has applied to build six shops of up to 100sq/m on a brownfield site at Royston Road, Glasgow.
Replacing a demolished pub on the corner of Provanmill Road the shopping parade takes its cue from established commercial frontages next door, defined by a simple dual pitch roof.
In a planning statement, KDP wrote: "The simple dual pitch is made a feature of by the external corner being sliced off at 45°. This produces a pitched gable with no complex, expensive roof over and provides a sense of place at the corner and junction of Royston Rd and Provanmill Rd.
"Our building maximises the shop frontage to Royston and Provanmill Rd while providing sensibly placed access to the rear of the site for bins, service access and limited staff/customer parking."
Clad in white fibre cement cladding boards under a sinusoidal metal sheet roof the project is up for consideration by planners.

Struggling to work as filler -- I think that a corrugated iron roof cannot be far away if it needs to be value engineered.
Proof positive that rundown areas in the city are one step up from a shanty town and it will get worse unless the Nats in the City Chambers start chasing the Nats in Holyrood for proper funding.
Westminster has sacrificed local government to the wolves after 12 years of politically inspired austerity.
Holyrood took the template and added tartan to it and did the exact same.
Both hid their cuts behind a veneer of local democracy -- cowards the lot of them.
Perhaps instead of a functional strip of shops, you would like to see a day spa? Or a Tesla dealership? Maybe try to encourage Cassina to open a store by building an Italianate palazzo?
There's a certain comfortable cowardice in blaming governments for everything on message boards, don't you think? It's as banal as writing letters to the Sunday Post. Like a never-ending stream of consciousness from Disgusted Of Tunbridge Wells.
I miss complexity. Complexity was great.
This is real work. for a real landowner trying to turn a profit and negotiate “the Planning system” in 2022.
Fair play.
Well done to all involved
You're getting pretty tedious.
How welcome -- complacency on a stick.
Where poverty is eating non organic food from Sainsburys.
Busy junction site that can only support a single storey shed wae windaes -- Not good.
Hope you enjoyed the Solero regardless.
Unless we end up with two saunas and a betting shop of course.
