Ship shape homes

A housing project on the site of the former John Brown's shipyard in Clydebank
is set to be expanded to include another 400 homes.

The site where the most famous ships in the world were once built is to be
a new community with homes, leisure, shops and offices.

It will be called Queens' Quay, after the famous Queen Mary and Queen
Elizabeth ships built and launched at John Brown's when it was at the
height of its productivity last century.

However, after a re-evaluation of demand and location, Clydeside Regeneration
Ltd and FM Development wants to cut back on the amount of retail space
for the site.

It now wants to build 1600 homes.

Developers have asked West Dunbartonshire Council to lift a number of
constraints on planning approval, including the cap of 1200 homes.
