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 <strong>20,000<\/strong> homes. This plan proposes land for 30,000 homes. <strong>Linn Park isn&#8217;t needed to meet the Council&#8217;s target.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Linn Park matters<\/strong>. For generations it&#8217;s been used and loved by local people for walking, running, golf, dog-walking, and simply enjoying green space close to home. Once it&#8217;s built on, it&#8217;s gone forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Object<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The consultation is open now \u2014 you have until 18th November to object.<\/strong> <br>Object on the Council&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/glasgow.gov.uk\/9643\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/glasgow.gov.uk\/9643\">consultation page<\/a>. The Council&#8217;s information is spread across several documents on their <a href=\"https:\/\/cdp2-glasgowgis.hub.arcgis.com\">information hub<\/a>, which can be hard to navigate. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/260821-ReasonsToObject.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/260821-ReasonsToObject.pdf\">briefing note<\/a> shows the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to make a separate representation for each site. The site references are <strong>CfS240538 (<\/strong>the Golf Course<strong>), CfS250036<\/strong> (the clubhouse <strong>) <\/strong>and<strong> CfS250037<\/strong> (the Car Park). They also plan to remove land from the park for the cemetery. This is <strong>Policy 16<\/strong>. The following pages show you how to object for each site\/policy: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GolfCourse.jpeg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GolfCourse.jpeg\">CfS240538 <\/a>,<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pavillion.jpeg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pavillion.jpeg\">CfS250036 <\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CarPark.jpeg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CarPark.jpeg\">CfS250037<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pavillion.jpeg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/friendsoflinnpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pavillion.jpeg\">Policy 16<\/a><\/strong>. For each site, ask for it to be deleted from the plan. For  the cemetery expansion, ask for all references to Linn Park Cemetery expansion to be deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Give your reasons, in your own words. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This is Green Belt land and building on Green Belt should always be a last resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Council&#8217;s plan already proposes far more land for housing than Glasgow actually needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This site is used every day for walking, running, golf, dog-walking, and enjoying green space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once this land is built on, it&#8217;s gone permanently. There&#8217;s no getting it back. It&#8217;s the thin end of the wedge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add anything personal: how often you use the park, a specific memory, why it matters to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Join the campaign<\/strong><br>We&#8217;re a group of local residents working to protect Linn Park.
