WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by the Planning, Building Standards and Environmental Health Manager Planning Committee: 2nd August 2023 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Street names for a housing development Glasgow Road/Mill Road, Clydebank 1. PURPOSE 1.1 To allocate two new street names within the new housing development at Mill Road/Glasgow Road, Clydebank. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 It is recommended that Helm Road and Anchor Wynd are approved as the street names. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 Planning permission has been granted for 88 dwellings in total comprising of 38 houses and 50 flats. The dwelling sizes range from two to five bedrooms and the proposed flats are one and two bedrooms. The site is located at the corner of the junction of Glasgow Road and Mill Road, Clydebank. Glasgow Road forms the site’s southern boundary and Mill Road runs along the site’s eastern boundary. Mill Road marks West Dunbartonshire’s boundary with Glasgow City Council. Two new roads are proposed within the development with one point of access/egress on Mill Road. One road is a no through road with the other turning to run parallel with Glasgow Road. 4. MAIN ISSUES 4.1 The street names for consideration are Helm Road and Anchor Wynd for the new streets to take access directly off of Mill Road. 4.2 The two street names are derived from the areas rich shipbuilding history and to encompass the Clyde Waterfront regeneration of the new road bridge crossing the Clyde adjacent to the site. This is in keeping with the existing street names in the area and meets the requirement of the Council’s Street Naming Policy. In line with the street naming policy the ward members for Ward 6 (Clydebank Waterfront) have been consulted and a separate consultation was held by officers from the Housing Service with Clydebank East Community Council to obtain suggestions. Some suggestions by Housing Services were naming the ITEM 9

streets after Kilpatrick Hills and flora of the surrounding area, however the site is not in close proximity to the Kilpatrick Hills. A further suggestion was made by the Clydebank East Community Council of an individual’s name relating to the shipbuilding industry however this does not fall within the Street Naming Conventions. The two recommended street names – Helm Road and Anchor Wynd have endeavoured to stay within this suggested theme. 5. PEOPLE IMPLICATIONS 5.1 There are no people implications. 6. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 6.1 There are no financial implications. 7. RISK ANAYSIS 7.1 There are no known risks to the Council. 8. EQUALITIES IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) 8.1 None. 9. CONSULTATION 9.1 As part of the Council’s Street Naming Policy ward members for Ward 6 and Clydebank East Community Council have been consulted. 10. STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 10.1 It is compatible with the Council’s strategic priorities.
