Clyde Waterfront Innovation Campus

Glasgow City Council are designing a Masterplan Consent Area (MCA) in Govan, between the north-east corner of Elder Park and the Clyde. MCAs proactively grant planning consent to developments that fit within the designed scheme. The proposed MCA will provide development parameters for the establishment of a health and innovation campus on the vacant sites at Govan Road, Holmfauld Road and Linthouse Road. The proposals comprise erection of business accommodation (office, research, laboratory, light industrial and ancillary uses) and associated roads, infrastructure, public realm, and landscaping works. Please see the location plan and flyer attached.

As part of the design, we are proposing several civic and outdoor areas for the public to use, including a new area of public access to the River Clyde and a new civic square.

We are encouraging the local community / organisations to comment on the proposed public spaces and we also welcome comments on all other aspects of the scheme, which include traffic rerouting, new development plots, and new parking. Because MCAs do not follow the traditional planning process, this is your chance to have your voice heard.

We will be hosting a drop-in session in 3 weeks’ time where you can help shape this new development:
