Regeneration and renewal plans

Auchentorlie is one of the eight areas covered by our Housing-led Renewal and Regeneration Programme. You can see a map showing which addresses are covered by the programme below:

Map of the plans for Auchentorlie Quadrant [449KB]

The Auchentorlie area consists mainly of tenement flats built around the 1930s. The area is centrally located and very well-connected, with good access to local facilities.

The properties at 1-3, 11-13 and 2-10 Auchentorlie Quadrant and 74 Seedhill Road will see improvements to the outside of existing buildings, subject to owner agreement. This will make those homes more energy-efficient and help keep fuel bills down.

This will in most cases include:

• new roofs, including new roof trims, gutters and rainwater pipes, and the addition of solar panels;
• external wall insulation;
• new close doors, repainted closes and repairs to stair treads;
• new TV aerials;
• (in some cases) new windows;

There will also be improvements to outdoor and common areas such as closes, back courts, bin stores and recycling facilities.

The blocks at 5, 7 and 9 Auchentorlie Quadrant will be demolished and consultations will take place with the local community on how the land should be used. 

Next steps and timeline

The estimated programme of works is as follows:

• 2023 - work starts on the block at 74 Seedhill Road, which will be our pilot project
• 2024 - work starts to improve all other properties and outdoor areas (as described above). We expect it will take around two years to complete this. These works are subject to owner agreement. 
• By 2025 - demolition of 5, 7 and 9 Auchentorlie Quadrant
• By 2026 - we expect all work to be complete.

Please note, as this is a long-term project, the timelines could change.

We will be working with all residents on a neighbourhood plan for the area, to capture views on the issues affecting the wider area, what you would like to see changed or improved, and how we and our partners can work together to deliver on that.
