A series of consultations are to be held over plans to redevelop the former Victoria Infirmary site in Glasgow.

Housing association (HA) Sanctuary Group will host a series of events to discuss proposals on building a number of new homes in the area.

The first consultation events will take place on Thursday, 09 February and Saturday, 11 February, focusing 'masterplan' stage of the development and encourage discussion about the site in the context of the wider Battlefield area.


A second set of consultations will take place on Thursday, 09 March and Saturday, 11 March, examining more detailed design ideas and proposals.

Two final drop-in sessions on are to be held on 23 – 25 March, where the findings of the previous events will be presented alongside an exhibit the proposed planning design.

Representatives from Sanctuary, design team Collective Architecture and planners Farningham Planning will attend each event to answer questions, capture opinions and discuss people's concerns.

Peter Martin, Group Director - Development at Sanctuary Group, said:

"We're very excited to have the opportunity to redevelop the old Victoria Infirmary site and are looking forward to hearing from the community at the six drop-in sessions.

"We understand how important this site is to local people and our aim is to create a development that fits perfectly in this landmark location."
