1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Clyde Gateway Road was developed to improve strategic road
accessibility in Glasgow’s east end by linking the completed M74
motorway to the M8/M80 motorways. This linkage supports the
regeneration of the city’s east end, which, in terms of the Scottish planning
system, is classed as a National Regeneration Priority Area. The Clyde
Gateway Road contributed a critical element of the east end’s
regeneration by
• Improving access to vacant and underused land;
• Facilitating development;
• Relieving traffic congestion and improving road safety;
• Lessening the potential for localised flooding of the Camlachie Burn;
• Improving match day traffic and pedestrian management at Celtic
Park;
• Improving access to the Emirates Arena, the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome
and the Athlete’s Village, and
• Improving pedestrian routes and cycle paths.
1.2 The Council granted planning consent for the Clyde Gateway in 2005. Its
delivery was facilitated through a Compulsory Purchase Order (‘CPO’) and
orders made by the Council under national roads legislation.
1.3 The Clyde Gateway Road Phase 2 was completed in 2012 and future
maintenance boundaries have now been agreed. This process has
identified several pockets of land which the Council formerly acquired to
construct the Clyde Gateway Road Phase 2 but are now deemed surplus
to operational requirements.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 District Valuer Services (DVS) were appointed in January 2005 to provide
a valuation of the sites within the Celtic Park stadium campus. The DVS
is the commercial arm of the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), which is an
executive agency of the UK HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The DVS
provides professional property advice across the public sector in England,
Wales and Scotland including a broad range of property-related services,
such as strategic asset management, independent valuations, property
acquisition and disposal advice. Given the earlier involvement of the DVS
in the compulsory purchase process and knowledge of the previous land
deals in the area, it was engaged to give an independent valuation of the
surplus land.
2.2 Land ownership in the areas currently under consideration was previously
held in the main by West of Scotland Housing Association and Celtic PLC.
Page 3
2.3 Crichel Downs Rules apply in respect of land compulsorily purchased.
Accordingly, the Council is required to give first refusal to the owner of the
land at the time of the compulsory purchase (if known) to buy back any
surplus land at an agreed value. The disposal is at market or fair value
with the value calculated at the date the land is declared surplus.
3. CURRENT PROPOSALS
3.1 The DVS has now submitted its report and has valued the sites at a
minimum of £750k per hectare.
3.2 Plan 1 shows part of a site which was previously acquired from West of
Scotland Housing Association (WofSHA) under the Clyde Gateway Road
CPO. This area has now been deemed surplus to Council requirements.
Under Crichel Downs Rules the Council has offered to sell this land back
to the WofSHA. They have formally confirmed they do not wish to
repurchase this land. Consequently, the Council is required to offer the
site to Clyde Gateway URC under the Clyde Gateway Members
Agreement. Clyde Gateway URC has, however, confirmed that it does not
wish to purchase the site. Celtic PLC has confirmed that it would be
willing to purchase the site to consolidate its land holding within the
stadium campus. DVS has measured the site at 2,917 sqm, and based on
the DVS valuation, equates to a value of £219,000 with vacant
possession.
3.3 Plan 2 shows an area which comprises 4 different sites, 3 of which were
compulsorily purchased.
Plot A
This was formally part of a larger area which was compulsorily purchased
by the Council from Celtic PLC. This area has been offered back to Celtic
PLC under Crichel Downs Rules and the club has confirmed its agreement
to repurchase. DVS has measured the site at 505 sqm, and based on the
DVS valuation, equates to a value of £24,500 with vacant possession.
Plot B
This site was acquired from WofSHA which has formally confirmed it does
not wish to repurchase the land. Again, the Council is required to offer the
site to Clyde Gateway URC under the Clyde Gateway Members
Agreement. Clyde Gateway URC has, however, confirmed that it does not
wish to purchase the site. Celtic PLC has confirmed that it would be
willing to purchase the site to consolidate its land holding within the
stadium campus. DVS has measured the site at 2,185 sq m, which, based
on the DVS valuation, equates to a value of £164,000 with vacant
possession.
Page 4
Plot C
This site was in the ownership of the Council and has been offered to
Clyde
Gateway URC in line with the Members Agreement, however, Clyde
Gateway URC has confirmed that it does not wish to purchase the site.
Celtic PLC confirmed that it would be willing to purchase the site to further
consolidate its land holding within the stadium campus. The DVS has
measured the site at 195 sq m and, based on the DVS valuation, equates
to £14,500 with vacant possession.
Plot D
This was formerly part of a slightly larger site for which the Council could
not find any ownership details. Celtic PLC subsequently proved title to a
part of the site, however, further property searches carried out in respect
of the remainder were inconclusive. The DVS has measured the site at 24
sqm, and, based on the DVS valuation, equates to £1,800 with vacant
possession. Celtic PLC has formally agreed to purchase the site at this
price.
3.4 The DVS has proposed the Council protects its position by incorporating
an overage clause in the event the land surrounding these sites is
redeveloped for uses other than as a Club superstore and temporary
ticket office and which takes access of any kind from the Clyde Gateway
Road. On this basis the DVS has recommended that Celtic PLC or any
successors in title will pay an overage in favour of Glasgow City Council
of £100,000 which will be index linked by reference to the RPI for a period
of 15 years from the date of the agreement.
3.5. The DVS has also advised that the Council should seek to bind the parties
to a programme of environmental improvements in view of the forthcoming
Commonwealth Games.
4. FORMER LONDON ROAD PRIMARY SCHOOL
4.1 GCC Executive Committee of 19th January 2007 approved an option for
Celtic PLC to acquire the former London Road Primary School at a cost of
£300,000 with the price being uplifted from the date of the option contract
( 01 April 2009) until the date of settlement.
4.2 Celtic PLC has confirmed to the Council it wishes to exercise this option.
Celtic PLC has agreed to pay £300,000 plus RPI from the 01 April 2009
until the date of settlement. The RPI has been calculated by City Property
at £57,000 (to 31st October 2013) resulting in a total sale price of
£357,000. The RPI figure will require to be further uplifted following formal
agreement on the date of settlement.

5. CELTIC PLC PROPOSALS
5.1 Prior to the Commonwealth Games, Celtic PLC has agreed to carry out a
range of improvement works which will include the demolition of the
former London Road Primary School, the construction of a new Ticket
Centre and associated public realm enhancement works.
6.
CONCLUSION
The consolidation of land ownership and delivery of the redevelopment of
the Stadium Campus is in line with approved planning policy. It will help to
maintain momentum and build upon the significant progress which has
already been made in relation to regeneration in the East End and support
the longer term aims with regard to the legacy of the 2014 Commonwealth
Games and the ongoing investment by Clyde Gateway URC.
7.
COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS
Economic Impact:
The consolidation of land will enable
Celtic PLC to take forward development
proposals to the benefit of the area and the
city.
Sustainability:
The sale of these sites will initially allow the
sites to be enhanced with a view to their
proposed redevelopment in the future.
Financial:
Sales will result in a receipt of £780,800 plus
an additional RPI sum, (calculated from 01st
April 2009 until agreed date of entry, with
regard to the former London Road Primary
School). A further overage claw-back of
£100,000 will be put in place should the land
be redeveloped for other than a Club
superstore or ticket office within 15 years
from the date of agreement.
Legal:
Site disposals will be handled by GCC
Legal Services.
Personnel:
No impact on current staffing costs.
Sustainable Procurement
and Article 19:
All work to be undertaken will take this
procedure and article 19 into account.

we should all be pressing guys

Not when we get the same posts every week from the same people it isn't.
WE GET IT. You do not want Ally as manager. Does not mean we have to hear you say it after every single game.

Admin.
Could we have a separate thread like the boardroom one for the management.
I am sick to Death of seeing GOAT's weekly moaning session on the Bear's Den.
He is not the only one who moans about the management but he is the most prominent, and does it with such regularity that you don't even bother looking at who started the Ally Out threads cause 9 times out of 10 it is him.
At least if there were a separate thread all the whingers could go there and maybe we could FINALLY end the negativity in the Bears Den.

how very dare he have an opinion right?Cut out the personal shite and debate like an adult.

Your salary should be the first to go .

I hope you know this is all your fucking fault.

Ill quote your post again,
"I'd advise any Bear making a big deal about this and who have a decent sized following be very careful, I read a bit there and it looks like they've got all their bases covered so just be careful, don't want any Bears being targeted for slander"
Your intention about bears being targeted for slander are perhaps welcome if genuine. (Dont remember them exercising any caution over discussing our matters, and remind me how many of them we got for "slander".
I presume you're not a lawyer or land expert, yet you read "a bit", and suddently you come to the conclusion they "have all their bases covered" isn't that a bit of a leap to make?
I'm glad they are people like VB etc who stand up for our support rather than cheese eating surrender monkeys like you worried about "slander".

I think given what we've had to put up with off them the last few years, that we should be doing exactly this.
We're in a war with them, and too few have woken up to this yet.

Because we were demonised by bloggers and a fanbase who mobilised and did this to us
Because our songs were demonised by a mhob who complained en masse
Because bloggers (poisonous individuals) did the same to us over something we were found not guilty of
Because a media demonised all our acheivements and tried to take our titles.
Because an anonymous illegal blog waxed lyrical about how we were cheats when we werent
Because that shower of filth has been doing this to us for years
EVERY bear should be mobilised and doing this, karmas a bitch and they tried to kill us,
Get it facebooked tweeted, on every gers messageboard and every fucking media possible
Karmas a bitch filth.

Admin can we sticky this
everyone should be posting an email above, get it on ff, dtb, gersnet every bear with twitter tweet it, retweet it facebook it and shout it.
Everyones had a good kick at us, its about time we kicked back.
BP or gogz can you pls sticky this.

Exactly
Maggie was just what the whole of the UK needed.
The Unions and Militants just like GCC where killing it.
No wonder we are trodden on up here with Councils like Glesga.

We didnt get one of the tims for slander, I understand the need to box clever pal. But unless nixon is a lawyer or a land expert, I fail to see he can come to the conclusion that they have "all their bases covered". on a brief reading of the facts.
Celtic wont be going after anyone for slander. All we are merely doing is speculating on a news story,

I'm guessing that the "all bases covered" comment means that they (celtic,co-op,GCC/GHB)will be preparing a story concocted to protect all parties , i personally believe f*cking confession won't even protect this lot from being exposed if we have enough in us to push this on , but as i said we need to be clever and I'm getting that's what Nixon meant.

Your correct about pressing but probably not appropriate to argue with another member on this particular issue , I get Nixonrfc point that all Bears go about this in the correct manner ! I also get your determination but best to refrain from nipping at each other . Cheers mate.
