Scottish Ministers have proposed a modification to the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Structure Plan in order to make provision for new employment opportunities through the expansion of the West of Scotland Science Park. As the proposed modification relates to a strategic provision, it is not site specific and it would be wrong to assume that it represents a threat to the amenity woodland at Dawsholm Park. Any consequential land allocations would be a matter for the Glasgow City plan which is currently approaching consultative draft stage.The proposed modification has been the subject of a substantial number of representations which are being carefully considered prior to a final decision on the submitted structure plan.
