Planning Application for former Mount Florida Bowling Club approved!

We are delighted to announce that the planning application for a new community hub, landscaped gardens and housing on the site of the former Mount Florida Bowling Club has been granted!

jmarchitects are excited to share that the proposals for housing, a new community hub within the refurbished club house and landscaping of the associated grounds were approved at a Planning Hearing by Glasgow City Council’s Planning Committee on 16th September.

The project will see the redevelopment of the site, owned by NOAH, to provide multi-purpose landscaped community open space, a re-modelled community hub in the upgraded pavilion building and a bespoke residential development.

The residential component of the project consists of two flatted blocks containing 32 one, two and three - bedroom apartments. The blocks reinforce the urban edge of Carmunnock Road and are proposed to be finished in a high-quality masonry. The blocks have direct access to both the street and the landscaped gardens. Projecting bays provide both balcony space and visual relief along the building frontage.

The former Bowling Club pavilion building will provide a flexible, multi-purpose space that will be made available to the local community. It will be capable of accommodating a range of proposed community uses, such as parents and toddlers’ groups, games nights, keep fit classes, educational events, craft groups and café space. The facility will be set in extensive landscaped gardens, which will be easily accessible by the local community and which can be used and adapted for a variety of uses such as yoga, active outdoor play, informal sports, relaxation areas and children’s play areas.

“We are pleased that the planning application has been granted for this project, and to be working with NOAH Developments on developing these proposals for the former Mount Florida Bowling Club. Importantly, this project is supported by the ambition of our clients which is to provide both a high-quality residential development as well as a meaningful open space and refurbished clubhouse that can be used by the local community.”
