We intend to submit a Masterplan Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) for Govan Graving Dock in due course, to start an application process for Planning Permission in Principle. Our aim is to submit the PAN notice this year, with the schedule to be confirmed following discussions with our architects.
CDPI does not intent to lead delivery of this proposal – rather we aim to establish the basis of and inform discussions supporting future ambitions for the site that will allow greater community influence in guiding its future. We urge stakeholders and others who wish to get behind this broad concept (and synergistic proposals from others) to come together through the Govan Docks Regeneration Trust charity.
In approaching a planning application without necessarily intending to lead the delivery; our aim is to establish an up-to-date precedent in planning policy and planning decision making that will secure the site as a maritime infrastructure asset while allowing public access and space that enables sustainable community-driven uses.
We also aim to challenge the misleading and false narrative that housing development is needed for a regeneration of the graving dock site to be financially viable.
Until now the early-stage development of plans for Govan Graving Docks has been shrouded in commercial confidentiality. Our aim is to bring it into the public sphere for open discussion…
