Our Inclusive Living Community in Perth Recommended for Approval
Plans for our new Glover Street development will go before Perth and Kinross Council’s planning committee on Wednesday 11th November 2026.
We are pleased to share that plans for our £28 million inclusive living community in Perth have been recommended for approval by council planning officers.
The recommendation relates to Our Inclusive Community Project (OICP), which proposes a purpose-built residential development at Glover Street to replace our existing Upper Springland campus.
If approved, the development will provide modern and accessible homes for 60 people with complex needs, alongside a community hub featuring a specialist hydrotherapy pool and an accessible gym.
Replacing Upper Springland
While Upper Springland has served our residents well for many years, the site is no longer fit for purpose and faces significant flood risk. Our proposals aim to deliver safe, contemporary accommodation tailored to the people we support, while also supporting a significant number of local jobs.
These plans have been shaped through ongoing engagement with our residents, their families, and our staff to ensure the new community truly reflects the needs and aspirations of those who will live there.
Brian Logan, our Chief Executive, said:
“This recommendation is an important milestone for a project that is fundamentally about providing the people we support with the quality of home they need and deserve.
“Upper Springland has served people well for many years, but it can no longer provide the modern, accessible environment we want for our residents. Our Inclusive Community Project would give 60 people with complex needs purpose-built homes designed around them, alongside facilities that can support their health, wellbeing and independence.
“We know there has been significant local interest in the future of the wider Glover Street site. Our focus is on the part of the site proposed for Our Inclusive Community Project and on creating a safe, modern home that meets the needs of the people we support.
“We look forward to the planning committee considering our application.”
Councillors on Perth and Kinross Council’s planning committee will consider and determine our application on Wednesday 11th November.
