Companies looking to invest in Glasgow's business infrastructure
will find a city that takes a very proactive, innovative approach
to working with developers to ensure appropriate development takes
place.
Glasgow City Council has introduced a series of measures to help
the city weather the current economic downturn and to support the
development industry in its bid to build on the exciting projects
under way in the city.
Measures include:
- Fast tracking major planning applications for key
developments
- Selling land "off market" where developers have access to
capital necessary to finance development (subject to independent
valuation)
- More flexibility in land disposal to make it easier for
projects to get off the ground
- Allowing the deferral of payments developers have to make to
develop sites
- Establishing a range of business growth funds to support
development
