Sustainability of Location
The proposal is within a sustainable location and can contribute to creating 20-minute neighbourhood
The site is in a sustainable location with good access to local services and amenities:
- National Cycle Route 7 / Core Path C116F runs through the northern part of the site providing excellent recreational walking and cycling opportunities. •
- Local bus services can be accessed along Crookston Road, with the nearest stop within an 3 – 12 minute walk.
- Crookston Rail Station is located around 9-22 minute walk, providing regular rail services to Glasgow Central.
- Crookston Castle Primary School is located around a 15-21 minute walk and St Monica’s Primary School around a 13 minute walk.
- Rosshall Academy is located around 10-24 minutes walk (1,750m) and Lourdes Secondary School to the northeast is accessible by bus.
- A local supermarket and GP are located on Crookston Road, around a 10 minute walk (810m).
- Leverndale Hospital is located within an 8-12 minute walk
The site’s location allows it to benefit from these existing amenities and contribute positively to the creation of a local ‘20-minute’ neighbourhood in line with Scottish Government aspirations and set out in the draft National Planning Framework (NPF4).
