Plans For Swan Group Glasgow Development Get The Green Light

Swan Group has announced that planning approval has now been granted for their proposed Royston Road development.

Granted by Glasgow City Council, approved plans will see the delivery of 136 units, combining housing and flats, to the Northeast of Glasgow. Swan Group have previously concluded a contract with PfP Capital and therefore will be working collaboratively to deliver a development of much needed housing to the area.

Swan Group originally gained planning approval for 100 homes on the site, however following delays instigated by the Covid-19 pandemic, the team identified an opportunity to re-assess and determine if the site held the capacity for additional units. Following discussions with the council, operating partners and PFP Capital, Swan Group were able to re-submit the planning application to increase the scheme from 100 to 136 units.

Phil McGinlay, Managing Director of Swan Group, said:

"Swan Group's Royston Road development will be a great addition to Glasgow's regeneration ambitions, offering residents direct and safe access to the city centre. We are very happy to see our continued hard work paying off as another stage of the development process is concluded. The team are very excited and determined to ensure the continued success of this development through to completion."

The news comes as a welcome addition to recent progress being made across Swan Group's current pipeline of developments. The team continues to work on multiple ongoing projects, in addition to considering a variety of new opportunities as Swan Group look to increase its overall capacity and delivery of projects.
