What is a Local Place Plan (LPP)?
A LPP is a community-led plan for the future of a neighbourhood or place. This LPP covers the Anderston Community Council area.. The plan can make a difference – it will establish the community’s spatial vision for Anderston for the next ten years. The plan will contain ideas about land use, buildings and development and feed into the Glasgow’s next City Development Plan (CDP). It is a new way for communities to influence development in their area. For more info about Local Place Plans, download this Easy-Read Guide.

Who is writing the Plan?
Anderston Community Council, G3 Litter-Free and the Pyramid have formed a steering group to develop the plan. They will ask everyone in the community to give their views and ideas. The steering group have help from local volunteers and Place at the Table and Iglu who between them have created many similar plans across Scotland.

What will be in the Plan?
Anything that you think will improve Anderston as a place to live, work and visit. We need you to tell us what. Over the next few months, we’ll be asking local folk for their ideas about how to make our town an even better place. And we’ll be working with you to develop it into a Plan to make it happen.

The final Plan might include:

How you want Anderston to look in 10 years’ time.
Keeping existing initiatives going, ideas for starting new ones, starting new ones, or developing local services and facilities.
What we need for businesses to thrive in Anderston.
Suggested projects to help Anderston become more sustainable and deal with the impacts of climate change
Big ideas to help connect Anderston to the rest of the city and make it a liveable place for all its residents.

Please note that all the hard work put in by local people into supporting the Liveable Neighbourhood – Yorkhill to Anderston Plan will be drawn on to form this Local Place Plan.

Why should I get involved?
This is a chance to shape the future of Anderston for ourselves, our friends and family, and our grandchildren and beyond. We have inherited a place that local citizens have helped shape and make better for us. We can’t pay that back, but we can pay it forward with our time and passion.

Will my idea be in the Plan?
That’s the aim! There will be many different ideas because Anderston is a home and a work-place to so many different people. We will work to identify together ideas that will have significant impact and be beneficial. We’d like to get input from as many people as possible. We’ll encourage discussion by being available at public events and going direct to local groups to the best of our ability and capacity.

When will the Plan be complete?
We are aiming to have the plan completed by March 2025, to meet with the deadline set for Local Place Plan submission by Glasgow City Council.
