A man has been ordered to pay an “excessive” £97,000 compensation by the council to build a dream home on greenspace among woodland in Cathcart.
Matt Bridgestock is fighting to pay £21,000 instead over the loss of greenspace after getting the go-ahead to construct a four bedroom two storey house with a balcony on derelict land.
He won permission to erect the property on the condition he pays the huge sum, as the council says 3,455 square metres of open green space is being lost on the site between 6 Brunton Terrace and 38 Brunton Street.
