Development site

The site at Birkmyre Avenue is an elevated residential development opportunity, offering views northwards towards the Firth of Clyde. The site was previously occupied by commercial buildings, which have since been demolished. The site extends to approximately 0.71 acres (0.29 hectares). Planning permission was previously granted for the development of ten houses and six flats. The section of the site intended for the flats, which is situated towards the southern part of the site, has since been sold. The remaining planning consent provides for one detached four-bedroom house, together with nine terraced houses arranged across two blocks. These comprise seven three-bedroom homes and two two-bedroom homes. Full planning permission can be reviewed on Inverclyde Council website under planning reference: IC/06/237R.
