Clydebelt objected to outline planning application number 95/151 for a new Clydebank Football Club stadium and car parks on the Green Belt between Hardgate and Drumchapel, between the Boulevard and the golf course:
It conflicts with the Clydebank District Local Plan policy GB1 in that the proposal is for developments within the Green Belt.
It would spoil the Green Belt wedges and fingers into the urban area that the Strathclyde Regional Council Structure Plans say should protect this part of the Glasgow area.
It is also against recent draft Scottish Office guidelines.
But the Club failed to provide a traffic impact study. On 16th October 1996 West Dunbartonshire Council Planning Committee refused the application.
The owners sold the Football Club at Kilbowie and the new owner's plans to redevelop the Club seem to involve moving away from the town.
Following representations by Clydebelt, dumping near Braidfield Farm next to the proposed Stadium development was referred to the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.
