Maidenhill is a large scale residential development site which has the Green Network and Green Infrastructure as central components of its Masterplan and Design Guidance.
It is an exemplar of how planning policy and guidance should give Green Infrastructure the same level of importance as “grey” infrastructures such as roads and energy and be ‘designed in’ to new developments from the outset.
At more than 16km2 the Seven Lochs Wetland Park is destined to become Scotland's largest urban wildlife site, and an exemplar of Green Network planning and delivery.
Straddling the Glasgow & North Lanarkshire boundary between Easterhouse, Coatbridge and Stepps the Seven Lochs is a fantastic asset at the heart of the Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network.
The Clyde Gateway takes in an area of Glasgow and South Lanarkshire totalling 3.3 square miles. It is identified in the third National Planning Framework as a National Regeneration Priority.

This will allow identify areas which need to be protected, enhanced and created.
