Local Place Plan - Gartcosh & Mount Ellen
What is a Local Place Plan?
A Local Place Plan for Gartcosh & Mount Ellen is an opportunity for local residents in the community to have their say about future development in our area over a 5 or 10 year period.
Your views will define the ideas, priorities and considerations that will make up the Plan.
Our Plan will influence planning policy and community sector services including investment by the public & private business in the future.
What does a Local Place Plan do?
Our Local Place Plan is a pathway and opportunity for communities to have their voice heard in the planning process ahead of developments and decisions that affect their area.
The Gartcosh & Mount Ellen Local Place Plan will highlight our local priorities and opinions topics such as:
- Housing development
- Infrastructure eg school
- Community Amenities
- Green space
- Roads, active travel paths
- Heritage
- Economic opportunities
- The Seven Lochs projects at Johnston Loch
- Healthcare Access
- Wildlife and Biodiversity preservation.
It will be a live document to be referenced in decision making by statutory bodies, community groups, landowners and business. The Plan will communicate the community's aspirations and vision of our area.
What is the procedure and process?
Following our Drop-In event at the start of March, we are offering those unable to attend the opportunity to provide their comments, opinions and feedback here on our website to help shape the Draft Local Place Plan.
At the end of Spring 2025, the Draft Plan will be available online and at an in-person public meeting for comment and review. The feedback will shape the final edits made to the Local Place Plan.
The completed Local Place Plan will be submitted for registration to North Lanarkshire Council to influence planning policy, community sector services and investment in public and private business.
