Birkmyre Avenue, Port Glasgow – Residential Development Opportunity
Elevated development site extending to approximately 0.71 acres (0.29 hectares), with views north towards the Firth of Clyde. Previously occupied by commercial buildings, which have since been demolished, the site offers an opportunity for residential redevelopment. Planning permission was previously granted for ten houses and six flats. The southern section intended for the flats has since been sold. The proposals for the remaining land comprise one detached four-bedroom house and nine terraced houses, including seven three-bedroom and two two-bedroom homes. Planning documents can be viewed on Inverclyde Council’s website under reference IC/06/237R. Purchasers should confirm the consent’s current status and applicability to the land offered. Japanese knotweed: Specialist excavation and removal works were undertaken in 2022, including removal of affected material and installation of root barriers. The contractor’s report identifies a continuing risk of boundary regrowth and encroachment, with monitoring and further treatment planned over at least five growing seasons. A draft guarantee refers to cover until July 2032, subject to conditions and exclusions; its final issue, validity and transferability require confirmation. Purchasers should review the treatment documentation, latest aftercare position, planning and title information before bidding.
