Council planners have responded to community feedback on plans to build a new primary school in North Kelvinside.

The council is looking to build the new facility between Queen Margaret Drive and Gairbraid Avenue with a planning application expected to be lodged next month.

Concerns surrounding the plans were raised by residents at a pre-application consultation in June last year.

Through the meeting, locals raised concerns that the non-denominational school could contribute to increased car congestion in the area, especially at pick-up and drop-off times around the school day.

In a response passed to North Kelvin community council, planners said a drop off area for the new school is proposed and located towards the south east of the site, accessed from the existing roadway adjacent to Maryhill Fire Station.

Changes have also been made to the scale of the building since the consultation, following fears that it could impact privacy on the nearby properties.

In response, the council say the tallest side of the three-storey building will be facing away from the residential properties on Queen Margaret Drive.

The scale of the building has been reduced and its location has been set back from the residential street to ease worry.

Proposals also indicate that the school will include a full size synthetic pitch and multi-use games area that will be available to the community for free after school hours.

Neighbours of the development are to be notified when the formal planning proposal is submitted.

Glasgow City Council previously acknowledged that there would have been a shortage of spaces in Maryhill schools if rolls continued to rise.

Projections show that around 800 more children will be living in the north west of the city by 2020.
