Wheatley outlines plans for 400 new homes to transform Wyndford

Wheatley has applied to Glasgow City Council to build 401 new homes, 343 for social rent and 58 for mid-market rent. The £100m project is being supported through grant funding from Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government.

The energy-efficient homes are a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom flats, including wheelchair accessible flats, and three and four-bedroom houses.

As well as new homes, the regeneration will include a new, purpose-built two-storey community hub and new outdoor space, including landscaping, seating and a growing area.

The homes will be built by contractor CCG, and work is expected to start in Spring 2027.

Four outdated and unpopular multi-storeys at 120, 151, 171 191 Wyndford Road were demolished last year to make way for the new homes.

Lindsay Lauder, Wheatley’s Director of Development and Regeneration, said: “It’s a really exciting time for Wyndford. The new homes will help create a community people are proud to live in.

“There are very few family and accessible homes in Wyndford, and that means larger families, or tenants who have mobility needs, often have no choice but to leave the area.

“The larger family homes and more accessible homes reflect the needs of the community in Wyndford. They will also give families the opportunity to build long-term roots in the community.”

Residents in Wyndford have been closely involved in the regeneration proposals, and have taken part in surveys, questionnaires, face-to-face meetings and public consultation events.

The Wyndford Futures Focus Group, led by tenants, has worked closely with Wheatley and architects on shaping the plans.

Henry McLaren, co-chair of the Wyndford Futures Focus Group, said: “The future is becoming a reality now.

“People are noticing the change in the landscape and that makes people more positive and more reassured as things take shape.

“Residents have seen that their views have been taken on board, and that has had a positive effect. People can see things coming together.”

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Housing and Development at Glasgow City Council, said: “It is great to see the regeneration taking place in Maryhill and around North Glasgow, and the proposals for Wyndford promise to bring much-needed new, high-quality homes and facilities and an improved environment for everyone who lives there.”

The planning proposals have been supported by Hub West Scotland, Montagu Evans and the Design Team members, including ECD Architects, Woolgar Hunter Engineers, nbm Construction Cost Consultants, Hawthorne Boyle, Rankin Fraser, Doig and Smith, Carbon Futures and Mor Transport.
