Plans for a \u00a395m multi-use residential development in Calton in Glasgow with a 2.5 acre park and a contemporary arts centre have been submitted.<\/p>

Developers Glasgow Enlightenment announced today that they have lodged a planning application with Glasgow City Council for Collegelands Park, following a successful three-month community consultation period.<\/p>

And they released images of how the new development will look. Along with two new student accommodation blocks with 591 beds in total, there will be 147 rented apartments and a new arts centre featuring sliding glass walls opening out to a courtyard. A park with meadows, orchards and seating will provide a place for local people to meet up, relax and exercise. \u00a0<\/p>

The new neighbourhood will be built on the last gap site of the popular Collegelands development, which was launched more than 20 years ago to help regenerate the Calton area, attracting new residents and creating local jobs.<\/p>

Paul O\u2019Donnell of Glasgow Enlightenment said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to share the final vision for Collegelands Park and I\u2019d like to thank everyone who came along to our consultation meetings and gave us their views on how the development could best serve the local community.<\/p>

\u201cWe have lowered the heights of the buildings to address concerns around visual impact and have taken on board the feedback on how the park should look from local residents and community groups.<\/p>

\u201cWe are very excited about plans for the development, which will deliver new green space, cultural activities and rented accommodation for the local community, along with much needed homes for students in Glasgow, which has the largest shortage of purpose-built student accommodation in the UK.<\/p>

\u201cIt will offer a real opportunity for students to develop lasting ties with the city and become part of the local community.\u201d<\/p>

At the heart of the development will be the new arts facility being built by charity Dream Machine Productions. Dream Machine has for the last nine years operated a successful community hub with music and art studios, a caf\u00e9, galleries and music venues in London Road.<\/p>

The new venue at Collegelands Park will offer hireable event space, a community lounge and a caf\u00e9, opening out to the courtyard with \u201cHappy to Chat\u201d benches, free Wi-Fi, charging points and spaces that encourage outdoor remote working.<\/p>

Dream Machine founder Matt Lygate said: \u201cWe have been renting our present space for a long time but it will be amazing to have our own purpose-built hub where we can host meetup groups, provide space for community events, put on a year round public relaxation programme and become a home for many other community projects bringing value to us all.<\/p>

\u201cThis is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create an incredible venue, which will make a real difference to the lives of the people in the Calton area.<\/p>

\u201cThis facility is key to fostering the incredible talent of people in this part of Glasgow \u2013 the local people, students who are living here while they are studying, artists and musicians.\u201d<\/p>

The Dream Machine is working to secure funding for the building, with a five-year strategy to have enough revenue-generating activity to be financially sustainable and remove dependency on external funding.<\/p>

The Collegelands regeneration project was launched in 2004 in a bid to bring new homes and opportunities to the Calton area of the city. Today, Collegelands is one of Scotland\u2019s most successful mixed-use developments with a thriving community, a new Moxy hotel, offices, homes and shops.<\/p>

Graeme Bone of Glasgow Enlightenment added: \u201cIt will be great to see the new park and the arts facility being built at Collegelands Park, a really fitting legacy for all the hard work that has been done over the past 20 years to develop this vibrant new neighbourhood and green space in the city.\u201d<\/p>
