I've posted this as it will probably see changes in parking etc. on matchdays and also Dave King said the club were hoping to work with GHA on changing Edmiston Drive to make it more pedestrian/supporter friendly.

I will be more than surprised if any work in done near Ibrox bar a lick of paint and some superficial work.It certainly won't be on the same scale as the money thrown at the surrounding area at the peadodome all for free.

152 new homes given the green light in Ibrox

GHA plans for Ibrox

GHA plans for Ibrox

5 hrs ago / Hannah Rodger, Senior Reporter

A new 152 home development has been given the green light in Glasgow.

The plans put forward by Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) were agreed unanimously by Glasgow City Council's planning committee yesterday morning.

Work on the derelict site, bounded by Broomloan Road, Skene Road and Paisley Road West, is due to start by the end of the year with housing chiefs aiming for completion by 2018.

More than 150 homes are set for development including 116 socially rented homes and 36 mid-market rented houses.

The site has been lying empty for the last decade since the former GHA tenements there were demolished.

Six objections had been submitted against the proposals by local residents, the Ibrox and Cessnock Community council and Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland.

They were concerned about the loss of green space in the area, the increase in traffic brought about by the development and the design and colour of the buildings not being in keeping with others in the area.

Despite the concerns, councillors all voted in favour of the development.

The approval comes after the Evening Times reported that housing in the Ibrox and Govan area is in high demand due to the opening of Scotland's £842m flagship hospital.

More than 10,000 staff are employed at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with many looking to rent or buy homes close to their workplace.

David Fletcher, GHA’s Director of Regeneration, said: “We’re looking forward to work starting on these new homes, which will make a big difference to the area and to the quality of life of local residents.

“These modern, spacious homes will also be highly energy-efficient, which means tenants will save money on their fuel bills.

“We’ll keep the community fully involved and work with our partners at the city council and the Scottish Government as the plans move forward.”

We had our chance to develop the land around the time the super casino was discussed.  GCC  was on side with the plans but it didn't happen. No surprise that the  GHA have been given the green light of vtheir proposals

Fuck living next to a football stadium, Rangers or not.

So they knock down houses leave it like dump for years and then build more houses. Well that's great planning GCC.

Can't think of a single stadium (built in a city) where the surrounding area isn't rough as fuck. Don't expect your house prices to rise either.

The houses will all be filled with beggars and Poles

Just so we don't get any ideas of buying up the land in the future

Worried this means it isn't respectful enough of the importance of the Ibrox facade. The idea of forming any development of the area around a suitable approach to the stadium was a good one, but it sounds like that's ancient history now.

[Inigo 32,534]

Also, 'loss of green space in the area'.  It's a scrub that wasn't there until they knocked down the old flats. Sounds NIMBYish.

Anyway, had a gander at the development and it looks like it might not be too bad.

As the GHA is GCC's old Housing Department and run by the same bunch of tarriers, you're more correct than you realise.

I like how they have a group who are worried about the "loss of green space"  if it's the green space I am thinking of the green space is derelict piece of land filled with empty Buckie bottles , crisp packets and just general debris and rubbish

It's the usual NIMBY pish. They're probably just worried about extra cars, tougher parking and it being busier but added in pish about the colour of the proposals and green space shite to make it look like they're actually concerned about the wellbeing of the area in a more reasonable, less selfish sense.

You would have thought when they moved in they might have had an inkling that the plot might be built on in the future.  You know, it's a big brownfield area, it used to be residential, it's in A CITY... it's not hard to work out.

I've lived on Copland Road and now just off Broomloan Road, flat price has risen every year with the recent house (flat on Copland Road was rented so couldn't tell you).

The area is pretty rough but I'd sooner live here than places like Pollokshields etc.

[BEE 4,880]

My main issue with this is the fact it's the housing punters getting the houses, same with the Red Lion being knocked down.

There's no actual houses to buy around here, and when there is the prices are nuts due to their rarity.

[Gillete 1,338]

Am I wrong in thinking , wtf has this to do with Rangers? 

 

What benefit is a bit of green land compared to a house?

 

if it was our land and we had a museum , fans area etc yes, but houses ?

To be fair, it was previously housing association and they still own the land, so it was always going to be.

House prices in the area don't make it that worthwhile for private developments atm. That particular area just isn't affluent and desirable enough for it just now.

It's GHA's land. A totally different organisation. The houses that existed 10 years ago were shiteholes.
