Councillors are to be asked to give the ‘green’ light to an affordable housing scheme just yards from Celtic Park.
In doing so, they will have to overrule their own planning officials, who blocked a new residential development in a part of the city with a chronic need for social housing.
Parkhead Housing Association said they have 617 applicants on a waiting list for a home. Yet, during the covid lockdown period earlier this year, planning officials turned down the plans to build 24 affordable flats, with almost a third earmarked for homeless people and a further two for wheelchair users.
