Robroyston Business Park
5.27 NPPG 2 recognises that while demand for these sites is limited, the benefits to the Scottish economy in terms of jobs, investment and spin-off activity from mobile investment opportunities are significant. It is, therefore, important that these locations are safeguarded from alternative forms of development, since they form part of the City’s portfolio of sites for potential inward investment and help ensure that Glasgow remains a competitive industrial/business location.
