JTP secures planning consent to redevelop Glasgow Meat Market

Published on 12 December 2019

JTP has secured planning consent for Home Group in Scotland to transform part of the former Meat Market site in Glasgow into 252 apartments for affordable rent and one corner, ground-floor commercial unit.

Home Group in Scotland will work in partnership with Glasgow City Council to deliver the new homes on two plots fronting Duke Street and Bellgrove Street within the Dennistoun neighbourhood – a short walk east of the city centre. The redevelopment is due to be completed in Spring 2024.

The origins of a cattle market on the site date back the early 19th Century initially housing an inn, sheds and accommodation for livestock, later expanding to include

slaughterhouses an abattoir and wholesalers.   The Meat Market eventually closed in 2001 and was largely demolished in 2007 withed only the listed structures and arched gateways remaining.  The well-known landmark has been left untouched for over 10 years and Home Group was hand-picked by Glasgow City Council to develop bespoke, modern homes and a sympathetic revitalisation of the site.

“
The intention is to build upon Glasgow City Council’s own strategic masterplan to create a housing proposal that interprets the form and massing of the typical Dennistoun tenemental block in a contemporary manner, while focusing on community wellbeing, security and placemaking to enhance the public realm and streetscape.

The proposed plans for the Meat Market site complement a large and ambitious  regeneration initiative in the area designed to further strengthen the links between the city centre and the East End.

“
We are really proud to have built up such a strong partnership with Glasgow City Council and are delighted to be chosen to redevelop this iconic site. We intend to put family at the heart of these new homes and create an area for them to flourish. All homes will be bright, spacious and built to the highest modern standards while reflecting the historic look of the surrounding Glasgow tenements.
