Hi folks,

via a school friend who is being squeezed by successive developments, first the Gibson St. block, now Otago Lane itself. If you know anyone in the Hillhead/Otago St.  area... could you forward the attached to them?

" The developers Otago Street Ltd have submitted an application for planning
to build 163 new dwellings and 6 commercial properties of up to 8 storeys
high in the conservation area of Otago Lane.  As a resident of the lane, I
am deeply concerned about what this will do to the character of the lane and
the surrounding area, as well as, of course, the genuine concern for the
restricted quality of life this will afford to myself and the rest of the
current residents and shopkeepers in Otago Lane.
I would be very grateful if you would consider reviewing the plans lodged
with the Development and Regeneration Services Department at 229 George
Street, Glasgow, G1 1QU and, if appropriate, lodging an objection to the
application for planning consent with the executive director at
planning.representations@drs.glasgow.gov.uk before Friday 14th August "
thanks, R
