PLANNING
Thornly Park is allocated as part of Paisley South expansion area in the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (LDP). This is the major medium term residential allocation for Paisley, which includes Dykebar Hospital and land owned by Renfrewshire Council. The site is identified as a medium term expansion area and is expected to be developed through the next LDP, scheduled to be adopted in 2019 (scheduled to go to council committee Board on 12 March 2019).
Although the site is currently green belt, the LDP allocation states that the planning authority will support a master plan led approach to redevelopment. The site is fully serviced and there is an established internal road and footpath network.
Thornly Park is an important part of the Council’s housing land supply. The Council are in agreement that the site can be developed in isolation, provided it respects the principles likely to be contained in a master plan for Paisley South.
Currently there is no development plan policy requirement for Affordable Housing on the site.
