3. Background
3.1  The Making of Ferguslie framework and Place Plan sets out a long term vision
for the future of Ferguslie Park.  Developed in partnership with the local
community, the plan sets out a range of actions to reimagine underused land,
improve greenspaces and support community initiatives.  The plan was
approved by the Leadership Board in December 2021.

3.2 The Economy and Regeneration Board of 23 May 2023 approved the
Ferguslie ‘Green Line’ study as the basis for further development and delivery
of the plan, including the preparation of capital bids for funding. 
___________________________________________________________________ 
4. Making of Ferguslie – Progress  
4.1 Strong progress has been made on the delivery of initial phases of the plan
and in particular actions which support ‘early wins’ to demonstrate progress. 
These include:- 
Darkwood Community Growing Space 
4.2 A new growing space providing 20 raised beds on underused land adjacent to
the ‘Village Green’ at Darkwood Crescent.  The £50,000 project was
completed in late 2023, funded by the Scottish Government Place Based
Investment Fund.  A local community organisation have secured a lease for
the site and are managing the space, which will complement community
meals and market initiatives run by the group.   
Candren Burn Feasibility Study 
4.3 Candren Burn is identified by SEPA as a water body which could offer
potential for restoration and improvement.  The majority of the burn is
culverted and lies within an area of vacant and underused land.  Opportunities
for restoration align strongly with the place making aspirations of the Making
of Ferguslie and outcomes could provide multiple benefits, including
improvements to the physical and ecological condition of the water body and
enhanced climate resilience.   
4.4 The Board of 23 May 2023 noted that an initial feasibility study was being
developed by officers, supported by SEPA’s Water Environment Fund.  The
study was undertaken over late 2024 and a non technical summary is
attached to this report.  Outcomes from the study indicate that opportunities
may exist to restore sections of the Candren Burn, although these require to
be investigated in further detail.   
4.5 In view of study outcomes, officers have secured a further £100,000 from
SEPA’s Water Environment Fund to develop proposals to concept design
stage.  This will enable more detailed analysis of options, technical
investigations and community engagement, supporting an outline design.  It is
anticipated that the study will commence in late 2025 and will be subject to
consultation with local members, residents and community groups. 
Community Assets 
4.6 Work continues to be progressed to consider opportunities for community use
of Council owned buildings within the neighbourhood.  The former Craigielea
House is now established as Sculpture House, offering a community venue
for cultural activities.  St Ninian’s Church Hall, which benefitted from £100,000
investment in repairs in 2024, has recently been the subject of a Community

Page 3

Asset Transfer application from a local community group.  A CAT application
has also recently been submitted by a local group for the Falcon Centre, a
further property within the heart of the neighbourhood.  This application was
approved at the Community Asset Transfer Sub-committee on 19th March
2025 and is now at the conveyancing stage.
___________________________________________________________________
5 Ferguslie Green Line – Progress 
5.1 The Green Line is the key placemaking intervention within the Making Of
Ferguslie and the central spine for the neighbourhood.  A multi-functional
space and green corridor, a key role of the Green Line is to support the reuse
of vacant and derelict land within the neighbourhood, providing for high quality
public realm and a focal point for activities.   
5.2 The Green Line study identifies initial designs for a series of key character
areas within the neighbourhood and a phased approach to delivery with a
focus on the ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ and ‘Belltrees’ character areas as initial
priorities.  The Board of 23 May 2023 noted that these areas would be the
subject of further design and bids to major capital funding programmes.   
5.3 Work progressed in this context and included:- 
• Engagement with local residents and stakeholders in early spring 2024
through a newsletter distributed to each household in the
neighbourhood, supported by a staffed exhibition.  This provided an
update on progress as well as seeking views on emerging proposals
within the Belltrees and Neighbourhood Centre areas; 
• Additional survey works, including intrusive ground investigations at
both sites, to inform further detailed designs and support funding bids 
• Submission of a funding bid totalling £650,000 to the Scottish
Government Vacant and Derelict Land Fund to support delivery of
proposals within the ‘Belltrees’ character area; 
• Submission of a Stage 1 bid, totalling £500,000 to the Scottish
Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund to support delivery of
proposals within the ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ character area; 
5.4 The Board of 19 March 2024 noted that the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund
application was unsuccessful and that as a result of budget pressures, the
Scottish Government paused the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund for 2024/25.   
Neighbourhood Centre 
5.5 Following a project review, officers concluded that available budgets would
enable delivery of the proposals for the ‘neighbourhood centre’ character
area.  This includes a new games area and community space, enhancements
to paths, new lighting and street furniture with an area of long term vacant and
derelict land at Bankfoot Road.

Page 4

5.6 The Board of 5 November 2024 approved use of Scottish Government Place
Based Investment Programme funding to assist in delivery of the project and
following a procurement process, works commenced in January 2025, with
completion anticipated in late summer 2025. 
Ferguslie Belltrees 
5.7 Detailed designs for Belltrees continued to be developed and in late 2024 the
Scottish Government advised that the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund would
again be available for projects delivered over 2025/26.  Further information
was submitted to the Scottish Government in January 2025, providing an
update in support of the ‘paused’ application.   
5.8 The Scottish Government advised in early summer 2025 that the application
had been successful, securing £650,000 towards delivery of the project. 
Subject to approval of the grant offer from the Scottish Government, which is
considered in a separate paper to Board, a tender process is anticipated in the
second half of 2025, with works commencing in January 2026.   
5.9 When complete, the project will transform 2.69ha of long term vacant and
derelict land to provide a multi-functional greenspace for natural play and
activity space, with active travel connections, drainage and planting for
biodiversity.   
Wider Framework 
5.10 In addition to key character areas, the Green Line study identifies a number of
vacant sites which may provide future opportunity for development. This
includes the site of former properties at Tannahill Crescent, which have been
subject of a recent demolition programme, as well as Council owned sites at
Drums Crescent and Ferguslie Park Avenue. 
5.11 The above listed areas will all now be subject to a new draft masterplan which
will include the land around the SMISA Stadium. This masterplan will be
subject to community and other stakeholder input and consultation and will be
brought back to Board for approval in due course. 
5.12 With the key character areas being delivered or well advanced in progression,
officers will review the framework to consider development opportunities for
these remaining sites and approaches to support their reuse.
___________________________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION
Outlet of the Candren Burn Culvert to the north of Ferguslie Park
This document is a non-technical summary of the Candren Burn Restoration
Feasibility Study (2024), commissioned by Renfrewshire Council, in
partnership with SEPA, and undertaken by EnviroCentre and erz Ltd, to
explore the potential to transform up to 1.5 km of the culverted Candren Burn
in Ferguslie Park, Paisley.
The Candren Burn is currently classified as having ‘Bad Ecological Potential’
within the Water Framework Directive, largely due to poor water quality and
historic physical alteration. The burn’s restoration aims to address these
issues by daylighting sections of the burn, reintroducing fluvial processes,
and improving water quality. The project will also seek opportunities to
enhance biodiversity, and contribute to climate resilience, while addressing
community needs for improved green spaces and flood risk management.
This report summarises the findings and outcomes of a detailed baseline
assessment of the Candren Burn, as well as stakeholder engagement, policy
research, and opportunities and constraints analysis. Baseline assessments
confirm the modified nature of the catchment and the hydraulic complexity of
the existing Candren Burn system. There are known water quality issues and
evidence of contamination from sewage inflows and road drainage. A review
of available data related to extreme weather events show the study area to be
prone to both fluvial and surface water flooding.
The feasibility study demonstrates that daylighting the Candren Burn presents
a complex but feasible opportunity to re-establish natural processes and
improve the waterbody’s ecological status, while at the same time creating
valuable greenspace opportunities for the local community.

The objectives of the Candren Burn Restoration are clearly set out in the
strategic brief:
policy contextPROJECT OBJECTIVES
A review of relevant national and local authority plans has been undertaken to
help inform this assessment, a summary of which is provided below:
Source: SEPA Classification Hub, https://informatics.sepa.org.uk/WaterClassificationHub/
River Basin Management Plan (2021- 2027)
The Scotland RBMP has been produced by SEPA, Scottish Government and
other regulators and sets out a framework for protecting and enhancing water
environment across Scotland. The current RMBP assessed the Candren Burn
in 2020 as having bad ecological potential, driven by bad water quality and
impacts to the burns physical condition.
Candren Burn classification assessment: key parameters summary
By 2027 it is targeted that the overall classification of the Candren Burn
will improve to moderate ecological potential through improvements to the
physical condition and to water quality, with the long term objective to achieve
good ecological potential.
The Renfrewshire Council Local Development Plan (2021)
The LDP identifies open space assets and sections of the Core Path Network
that could be expanded and enhanced with the restoration project. There are
also areas allocated for potential future development within and nearby the
study area that will need to be considered.
Flood Risk Management Plan: Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan
District (2022-2028)
This plan identifies Potential Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) that are pertinent
to the study area, and outlines actions to address flood risks, including
engagement with community resilience groups implementing natural flood risk
management.

3.3.2 Observed Water Quality  
Consultation with the project steering group at the outset of the project confirmed there were not
detailed water quality monitoring records available to support the baseline assessment.
Observed conditions within the Candren Burn indicates potentially high levels of pollution impacting
the study reach. The catchment which is heavily urbanised and utilises the burn for surface water
drainage driving pollutants from the local road network. Another factor increasing pollution is
Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) which discharge diluted foul flows directly to the burn when the
local sewer network is at capacity. Further information on CSOs is presented in the utilities review 
Evidence of unscreened spills can be seen at the end of the culverted section of the burn in Figure
3-10 with visible rags within the safety grating. Figure 3-11 illustrates the high rates of algae growth
downstream of the study area, suggesting elevated nutrient levels, which are indicative of upstream
pollution.
The current negative classification of the water quality within the Candren Burn presents opportunities
for the daylighting project to enhance the overall water quality. 
Opportunities to reduce the volume of pollutants that drain into the burn should be explored in
collaboration with Renfrewshire Council and Scottish Water. This can be achieved through natural and
engineered systems to manage water, provide attenuation and offer a further barrier to pollutants.
Additionally, upgrading the CSOs will further mitigate pollution and enhance the overall ecosystem
health of the burn.

Red, Amber, Green - Assessment of Delivery Confidence
The following data and information are currently outstanding and would be
recommended to form part of the assessment during or in advance of RIBA 2:
Topographic Data – Invert levels and some dimensions of the culverted
section of the Candren Burn are unconfirmed. There is also no topographic
data available for the open channel sections upstream and downstream of the
study area.
Urban Drainage Model – The Scottish Water ICM model of the drainage
network in and around Ferguslie Park has been made available however it is
still to be reviewed in detail.
Flow Monitoring – To progress into modelling options additional measured
flow records are recommended to improve the accuracy of flow predictions
for the Candren Burn.
Water Quality Monitoring – Establishing baseline water quality is essential
for assessing the potential impact of the daylighting project on the burn
and confirming any improvements. A time varied series of monitoring is
recommended, with targeting monitoring during significant or extreme events,
to understand existing pollution pressures.
Ground Contamination Survey – Conducting a thorough ground
contamination survey is essential for planning any viable options for
daylighting a burn.

SUMMARYopportunities for collaboration
The feasibility study has established that daylighting the Candren Burn
presents an opportunity for environmental enhancement and community
benefits. The project aligns with the strategic objectives of improving
ecological status, enhancing community spaces, and increasing resilience to
climate change and flooding.
By restoring the river corridor, there is potential for the project to re-establish
natural fluvial processes and expand available habitats, fostering a diverse
ecosystem. The project would also have substantial benefits for the local
community, including improved access to green and blue spaces that will
provide recreational, educational, and health and wellbeing opportunities. The
restored river will increase resilience to flooding by expanding the channel’s
capacity and offering additional flood storage.
There are a number of constraints that must be addressed or appropriately
managed to ensure the project’s feasibility and success:
• The Candren Burn flows through a constrained and urban environment,
and existing housing and infrastructure restrict the available space for
restoration in certain locations.
• Utilities such as gas, electricity, and telecoms lines intersect the burn’s
route, requiring careful management to avoid disruption.
• Flood risk is a significant concern, necessitating solutions that do not
increase the risk to nearby properties.
• The combined sewer network and Combined Sewer Overflows present
a constraint, as their discharges into the burn need to be managed to
mitigate water quality issues.
• Contamination risks from historical land use and pollutants pose potential
challenges.
• The presence of both protected and invasive species require careful
planning to mitigate negative impacts on local wildlife.
In summary, the restoration of the Candren Burn is a complex but feasible
undertaking.
Consultation has identified the opportunity to align the mutual aims and
objectives of Scottish Water, SEPA, Sustrans, and local community in
Ferguslie Park, to transform the Candren Burn into an environmentally and
socially valuable waterway.

Partnerships have been formed
with Scottish Water through
this study, and collaboration
opportunities have been
identified.
An existing flooding issue is
recognised by Scottish Water and
they are looking at ways to invest
and improve in this area.
Opportunities for collaboration
exist with Sustrans, in respect of
the disused railway embankment.
This is owned by Railway Paths
Ltd. who work with Sustrans to
develop active travel corridors.
Initial contact has been made with
Sustrans who are keen to develop
projects in the area, which could
align with the wider aspirations
of the Making of Ferguslie
LPP - particularly in relation to
enhancements to the green
network, active travel connections
and resulting benefits for physical
and mental wellbeing.
As such, the Candren Burn
restoration project could bring
mutual benefit, and allign the aims
and objectives of Scottish Water,
SEPA, and Sustrans in this area.
