GOVAN Drydock Limited has secured change of use planning consent that will allow for the full reopening Drydock Number 1, which was previously designated derelict.
Now operational as a ship repair and maintenance facility, it secured a contract earlier this year to project manage and undertake the first phase of major restoration and repair work on the TS Queen Mary.
Peter Breslin, MD of Govan Drydock Limited, said, “Securing planning consent will allow us to continue the regeneration work on Govan Drydock, which has been derelict for the past 36 years. It is great news for the Govan area of Glasgow and will bring future job opportunities.
“It will also enable us to continue the repair and restoration work we have been undertaking over the past six months on the TS Queen Mary.”
The organisation added that the reopening of the Drydock Number 1 marks a ‘key’ component of the wider mixed-use proposals, led by New City Vision, which would see the seamless integration of community and industry, with the derelict site transformed into a vibrant neighbourhood with new residential housing and a hub for community projects interwoven with the historic landmark.
