How the development is expected to lookAMBITIOUS plans have been drawn up to restore the historic Mariners’ Home building in the West End of Greenock, and develop new housing in parts of the grounds. Proposals have been lodged with Inverclyde Council planners by developer Bridgend Property Limited and Nicholson McShane Architects (NMA). The developers say a “carefully integrated high-quality” housing development is proposed. NMA director Paul McShane said: “This project stems from the need to save the A-listed Mariners’ Home for posterity. Public access to the Mariners’ grounds will be improved so that the building can be admired up close.
