This 1.8 hectare (4.58 acre) freehold site occupies a prominent position in Blantyre and offers a clear redevelopment opportunity for residential or specialist use. It previously held planning permission (Application Ref: HM/07/0488) for an 80‑bed, two‑storey care home, providing a useful precedent and a starting point for a new planning application. The parcel is largely regular in shape, edged by mature trees and adjoining residential streets and open parkland.
The plot’s scale and location are the principal strengths: a large, contiguous site within easy reach of local amenities, transport links to Glasgow, and nearby green space. It is suitable for a single substantial scheme or sub‑division into multiple units, subject to planning. Access is likely from an adjacent cul‑de‑sac, while views take in neighbouring housing, wooded areas, and parkland.
Practical considerations should be checked early in due diligence. The previously granted permission will not necessarily still be live — buyers must confirm current planning status and any obligations. The local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect end‑user demand and funding models; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. There is no flood risk recorded for the site.
This opportunity will suit developers or investors who can manage the planning process and local market dynamics. The large plot and existing planning history reduce some early‑stage uncertainty, but detailed site surveys, utilities checks and a fresh engagement with planning officers are recommended before contract exchange.
