A RESIDENTIAL development on the site of Shawlands Bowling Club has been proposed.
City planners received an application for planning permission this week and are asked to consider the proposals to redevelop the site on Pollokshaws Road.
The plans state that Kelvin Properties, who are behind the project, want to erect a residential development with associated parking and landscaping on the site of an unused bowling green. They also want to make alterations to the existing clubhouse and surrounding grounds.
A design statement accompanying the plans said: “Due to falling club memberships and a reduced participation in club activities there has been a steady decline in inward investment for the club, which has resulted in a continuous reduction in the quality of club facilities on offer.
“The club currently barely breaks even on annual membership subscriptions, function hire and rental income from a Vodafone telecommunications mast.”
It continued: “The club are keen to carry out essential upgrades to the club facilities, as well as secure the long term future of the Shawlands Bowling Club. For these reasons the club committee have decided to release an unused parcel of land for development.”
A decision on the plans is expected by January 4.
