The 195 units will be constructed over three sites at

• Woodhall- 102 units
• Oronsay Avenue- 61 units
• Moray Road- 32 units

The commission for the first phase of housing at Woodhall also included a masterplan proposal for the whole site for which a multi-tenure development is envisaged. The Woodhall site is a challenging one given the topography of the site and the excavation requirements to create the level plateaus which are needed to meet our commitment to providing Housing for Varying Needs. The design solution is to construct, largely, split level units on this site.

The masterplan also provides for community facilities and the re-location of the existing retail unit. It is considered essential that the Woodhall area is developed to include improved community facilities and amenities to ensure long term sustainability.

Outline planning permission for the masterplan area and detailed permission for the 195 units across Port Glasgow was granted on 6th May 2009. This permission included for the construction of two play areas, one at Woodhall, the other at Oronsay and the improvement of open space at Phase 1 in Woodhall to create a park development.

It is envisaged that this project will be completed by March 2012.
