Discussions are set to commence over an arrangement that could see affordable homes built at the site of the former Bonhill Primary School and other former school sites in Clydebank.
It is understood land at Singer Street and Second Avenue in Clydebank, as well as Croft Street and Raglan Street in Bonhill, are under plans for development.

The proposals are part of a 10-year regeneration programme.
Cube's scheme would see 393 new homes built for social rent, with the Council receiving 100% nomination rights for first lets of all the properties. In addition, the plans would create up to 300 new jobs and training opportunities, sustain up to 1,000 construction jobs and develop some 1,200 indirect jobs in the wider economy.
Councillor David McBride, Convener of Housing, said: "This partnership has the potential to make a significant contribution towards meeting the need for more affordable homes in West Dunbartonshire. It is an exciting time and further evidence of this Council's proactive approach to improving housing in the local area. "
Cube Chair Liz Ruine said: "We're looking forward to working with West Dunbartonshire Council on these exciting plans which will see hundreds of new homes built in our communities."
