Glasgow Strategic Development Framework (SDF) - River Clyde Corridor

What do we want to know?: 

The City Council have published consultative draft Strategic Development Frameworks (SDFs) for 2 areas of the city - River Clyde Corridor & Govan – Partick.

The Strategic Development Frameworks for Glasgow support the aspiration of the City Development Plan to put people at the heart of spatial planning, allowing residents and communities an opportunity to get involved in the planning issues affecting their areas. An introductory document has been developed providing further information with regard to the background and purpose of the SDFs in relation to implementing the Council’s Strategic Plan.

The Strategic Development Frameworks are for people who have an interest in their area and who want to influence change, such as those who live and work there, local community groups and organisations, developers and other stakeholders. The SDFs provide a framework that enables people to engage in proposed regeneration activity and allow them to help shape the long term vision and objectives.  They also provides a steer for developers and professionals where further guidance, such as masterplans and design briefs, will be required.

6 SDF areas were identified as part of the delivery of the Glasgow City Development Plan (hyperlink: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16186) under the Sustainable Spatial Strategy (SG2) (hyperlink: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=19225&p=0). They represent areas of significant change, characterised by some large scale spatial and socio-economic challenges, and major opportunities for new development and economic growth. Although there are commonalities between the 6 SDF areas, each faces its own unique challenges and the SDFs are being developed to recognise this.

Once approved, the 6 SDFs will form spatial supplementary guidance to the City Development Plan. Each will be supported by an iterative action plan which, as well as identifying key initial actions, can also respond to emerging opportunities which arise across the life of the SDFs. The SDFs will establish a spatial framework, which sets out a holistic approach to regeneration in 6 key city districts, grounded in the placemaking principles set out in the CDP and reflecting the ambitions and aspirations of local communities and potential investors.

We would welcome your views on any of the issues or actions set out in the draft SDFs.  Copies of the draft SDFs may be inspected, during normal business hours, at the Mitchell Library, all local libraries and at the Council’s offices at 45 John Street, Glasgow.  Responses can be made using the online survey attached and / or in writing using the contact details provided. 

Written responses should include your name and contact details and be as specific as possible regarding what each comment refers to and the part of the document to which your comments relate.
