The proposals represent the next step in an important document that will influence planning decisions in Neilston in the future.

These include narrowing the Main Street road, tree planting, the installation of a clock tower and the transformation of Kingston Park, including the installation of a stand and all-weather, floodlit pitch.

And Neilston’s historic mill could also be transformed into a museum, hotel and research centre.

A statement from East Renfrewshire explained how they hope the consultation will help inform important decisions.

It said: “The ‘infill development strategy’ promotes and encourages developments which will benefit the village through providing private and social housing, community facilities and environmental improvements. These developments would be in character with surrounding uses and properties.

“The proposals have evolved from the Neilston Going Places report and the Charrette which was held in the village last year.

“The strategy provides more detail and guidance to what is in the local development plan. It looks at the ‘gap’ sites in the village, letting developers and local residents know what is likely to be built there and what factors the council will take into account when planning applications are submitted.” The consultation is online and locals are asked to share their comments at www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/SPG or email them to ldp@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk. Alternatively residents can also write to The Development Plan Team, East Renfrewshire Council, 2 Spiersbridge Way, Thornliebank, East Renfrewshire, G46 8NG.

The consultation period will run from now until February 18.

Following this consultation, the infill development strategy will be adopted as supplementary planning guidance alongside the local development plan.

The local development plan sets out the council’s proposals for the development and protection of its area over the next few years.

Convener for infrastructure and sustainable growth, Councillor Tony Buchanan, said: “I would urge everyone to have their say on the proposed strategy before the consultation ends on February 18 2015 — we want to hear as many views as possible.” Locals are also invited to a drop-in event on Monday, February 2 at Neilston library from 3pm to 8pm to share their views on the strategy. Everyone who attends can have a look at the display and talk to East Ren’s planning and regeneration teams.
