Driveway installation in Govanhill

Govanhill's dense tenement stock has no private road frontage, so driveway installation is limited to the smaller pocket of house-type property in the area.

What to weigh up in Govanhill

  • Most Govanhill properties have no road frontage suitable for a driveway.
  • Where a property does have one, feasibility is confirmed at survey.
Road frontage

A driveway only applies where a property has a private garden or hard standing accessed directly from the street. Tenement flats open onto a shared close or back court and have no road frontage, so they cannot take one. Where frontage exists but no dropped kerb is in place, an application to Glasgow City Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
