What to weigh up in Tollcross

  • Feasibility depends on which part of Tollcross a property sits in.
  • Post-war streets here follow the same pattern as Baillieston and Shettleston.
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.

Frequently asked questions
