PLANS to build 50 new homes on the site of a bus terminus have been put on hold to allow councillors to visit the location.
Developers MacTaggart and Mickel want to create 10 town houses and 40 flats on surplus land at the former Thomas Muir High School, in Bishopbriggs.
However, several residents have objected to the proposals because the development would be built
on a bus terminus, as well as concerns over the increase in traffic and noise they fear it would create.
The plans went before the council's planning board last week and were recommended to be granted, subject to a list of conditions, one being that an alternative bus terminus is provided in the area prior to work starting on the development.
Following a site visit, the plans will go before the next planning board on June 30.
Meanwhile, plans to build 32 new homes on a derelict site have been continued, for the second time, to a planning board meeting later this month.
Hallam Land Management Ltd want to create 32 new homes - including at least 40 per cent affordable housing - on a site adjacent to Kirkintilloch Road, in Bishopbriggs.
However, the application has been recommended for refusal because of concerns over access.
The application has been continued to allow for talks to try and find a soloution to the issue with access.
