PLANS to make a new part of the West End a conservation area have gone out to public consultation.

Conservation areas are of special architectural or historic interest with a character or appearance which should be preserved or enhanced.

The designation also means most changes to homes, including replacement windows, re-roofing, extensions and installation of satellite dishes require planning permission.

The move to include Broomhill follows requests from local councillors and residents.

The planned boundary of the conservation area mainly focuses around Broomhill Cross and extends north, west and south to include streets of villas, terraces, tenement blocks, public buildings and open spaces.

Liz Cameron, the city council's jobs and the economy spokeswoman, said: "Broomhill is an area of Glasgow with many examples of fine architecture, and this is just one reason why it is being considered for conservation area status.

"I would urge everyone with an interest in the area to participate - whether online, looking at the plans in person, or coming to the public meeting - to ensure their views are known."

The Broomhill conservation area appraisal consultative draft is available to view online at http://www.glasgow.gov.uk with paper copies at Whiteinch library and the city council offices at 229 George Street.

A public meeting to explain the implications and get the views of local people will take place on Wednesday March 11 at 7pm in Broomhill Primary School.

A comments form is available online and all representations should be emailed to appraisal@drs.glasgow.gov.uk or posted to City Design Group, DRS, Glasgow City Council, 231 George Street, Glasgow G1 1QU. Comments should be received by Monday March 30.

Conservation area plan for Broomhill

PLANS to make a new part of the West End a conservation area have gone out to public consultation.

At the same time the city council is considering a housing project for the southside of the city which would target people over the age of 55.

The conservation area designation means most changes to homes, including replacement windows, re-roofing, extensions and installation of satellite dishes would require planning permission.

The move, spanning the Broomhill area, follows requests from local councillors and residents.
