Glover Street redevelopment

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a vibrant, inclusive neighbourhood that meets local housing needs and supports some of our most vulnerable citizens. 

What's Changing and Why 

Perth faces a significant shortage of affordable homes, with nearly 800 applications for city-centre accommodation.

The Glover Street project reflects our commitment to social care and our pledge to protect and care for our most vulnerable people.

For decades, Glover Street has been home to Perth Leisure Pool but this facility is ageing, costly to maintain, and increasingly at risk of failure.

As the Council has now agreed to create a new leisure centre on Thimblerow in Perth city centre, ensuring a modern, energy-efficient facility,  there is now scope to redevelop Glover Street in order to provide greater affordable housing and specialist care provision. 

Our Vision for Glover Street 

• Affordable Homes: New affordable homes, to help address the high demand for city-centre housing.

• Inclusive Care: A new home for Capability Scotland's Our Inclusive Community Project, supporting 60 residents with complex needs to remain in Perth close to family and support networks. 

• Integrated Design: A single masterplan to ensure safe access, surface water flood mitigation, and shared infrastructure for housing and care facilities.  

What Happens Next 

• Public Consultation: 

• Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) 

• Statutory consultation 

• Public events - your chance to have your say. 

• Planning Process: 

• Outline planning permission for the whole site. 

• Detailed application for Capability Scotland's development first.
