In addition, ownership of the proposed community facilities (occupying 50% of the overall site) will be gifted at no cost to a local community group so allowing it a real opportunity to shape, own and control a significant asset for the benefit of the Mount Florida community and thereby avoid an uncertain future for the whole site.The proposals submitted seek a measured balance of a limited quality residential development together with a guaranteed community facility and open space provision.
We remain committed to ongoing community discussion during the planning process and should you wish to be in touch with any questions, please refer to the contact details on the website www.mfcommunityhub.co.uk.
Finally, we would like to thank members of the community who have chosen to engage constructively throughout the consultation process.

We recently held a useful and constructive community engagement event to present initial
proposals, hear the views of the local community and reply to questions raised on the emerging
proposals aired which offered two site layout options.
Preferences were expressed for Option 1 : Reinforcing Carmunnock Road, which offers a
significant open space component of 0.3 hectare and also includes for the retention and upgrading
of the original Clubhouse pavilion as a community hub. We shall be continuing to work up plans
based on the above option towards the submission of a planning application in the Spring.
We shall be publishing further updates as the proposals progress.

Following our previously turned down planning application and subsequent refusal on appeal in July 2021, reconsidered residential proposals are now being developed to better reflect the character and scale of the area together with the proposed retention and upgrading of the clubhouse pavilion as a new and enhanced community facility. Remaining grounds within the site not occupied by the residential development will form landscaped community open space.
NOAH and the Club have agreed that, subject to planning permission being granted, a significant financial contribution of £250,000 from the sale proceeds of the site will be made available to a designated community group towards funding the cost of refurbishing the clubhouse and the creation of a community open space.
In addition, the control and management of the community facility and open space will be offered to a community group on a long-term lease at a peppercorn rent.
It is intended to hold a public consultation event with the local community and interested groups to discuss emerging ideas and hear views on how a new community hub and open space provision on the site would be best created and successfully function. This will also be an opportunity to establish interest from any potential groups / organisations in taking control of the community facility and open space.
