What to weigh up in Shettleston

  • Feasibility depends on which part of Shettleston a property sits in, confirmed at survey.
  • Post-war semi-detached streets here typically have road frontage.
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.
