Residential development in principle at Land At Rydenmains Road, Glenmavis
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by North Lanarkshire Planning Committee on 5 Mar 2026.
What was proposed
The application sought permission in principle for housing with access, roads, parking, landscaping and associated infrastructure.
“Residential Development with Associated Accesses and Roads, Car Parking, Landscaping and Associated Development (In Principle)”
Officer report
Earlier applications
Two earlier applications related to the site: a proposal of application notice and an environmental impact assessment screening request.
“There are two applications relevant to the site:”
“- 23/01330/PAN Residential development comprising residential units associated accesses and roads, car parking, landscaping and associated development (Proposal of Application Notice). - 24/00049/EIASCR - Residential development comprising residential units associated accesses and…”
Officer report
What officers recommended
Officers recommended approval subject to conditions and a legal agreement, considering the proposal compliant with the Development Plan and acceptable for amenity and safety in principle.
“The proposed development is considered to accord with the Development Plan and in principle would not detract from the amenity and safety of the site or the wider area.”
Officer report
Constraints and safeguards
Ground levels, the culvert, coal-mining legacy and consultee requirements constrained the indicative layout, so detailed matters would need later approval and conditions.
“The following information has been submitted to support the application: - Air Quality Assessment - Archaeology and Heritage Impact Assessment - Biodiversity Positive Report - Coal Mining Risk Assessment - Landscape Statement - Noise Assessment - Planning Statement - Transport Assessment - Drainage Strategy - Flood Risk Assessment - Pre Application Consultation Report - Preliminary Ecological Survey - Vehicle Movements Technical Note…”
“The application was submitted with a detailed proposed layout plan and following discussion with the applicant in relation to this detail, it was recognised that the site’s ground levels and the culvert will constrain the number of houses that can be accommodated within the site and indicative layouts within the submission would not meet all consultee requirements or planning standards in terms of residential amenity.”
Officer report
The decision
Planning permission in principle was granted.
