What to weigh up in Shawlands

  • Tenement flats closer to the shopping strip have no private road frontage.
  • Semi-detached streets further out typically have a front garden suited to a driveway.
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.
