‘St Andrews Drive phases 2 and 3 are the concluding phases of a landscape-led approach to creating a development driven by the principles of NPF4. The projects’ initial strategy was to integrate a mixed tenure social and affordable housing development into the adjacent Pollokshields West conservation area. Preserving existing trees was a key objective whilst providing a series of urban villas set in a series of gardens that provide a holistic living environment for its residents. The project seeks to extend the sense of place of the neighbourhood into the new masterplan and knit the community together.’
