Protect Linn Park

Glasgow City Council wants to allow housebuilding on the Linn Park golf course

This site is Green Belt. Building on Green Belt should be a last resort — used only when every other option has been exhausted. The Council has other options – Glasgow only needs to build around 20,000 homes. This plan proposes land for 30,000 homes. Linn Park isn’t needed to meet the Council’s target.

Linn Park matters. For generations it’s been used and loved by local people — walking, running, golf, dog walking, and simply enjoying green space close to home. Once it’s built on, it’s gone for ever.

How to Object

The consultation is open now — you have until 18 November to object.
Object on the Council’s consultation page. The Council’s information is spread across several documents on their information hub, which can be hard to navigate — our briefing note shows the key points.

You make a separate representation for each site. The site references are CfS240538 (the Golf Couse), CfS250036 (clubhouse ), CfS250037 (Car Park). They also plan to remove land from the park for the cemetery this is Policy 16. These pages show you how to object for each site/policy: CfS240538 , CfS250036 , CfS250037, Policy 16. For the sites, you are asking for the sites to be deleted from the plan , and for the cemetery expansion, ask for deletion of the reference to Linn Park Cemetery expansion.

Give your reasons — in your own words. Here are some examples :

• This is Green Belt land, and building on Green Belt should always be a last resort
• The Council’s plan already proposes far more land for housing than Glasgow actually needs
• This site is used every day — for walking, running, golf, dog-walking, and enjoying green space.
• Once this land is built on, it’s gone permanently — there’s no getting it back. It’s the thin end of the wedge.

Add anything personal: how long you’ve used the park, a specific memory, why it matters to you
