This report investigates two typical domestic building types common in the Glenkens: “Post-war” – a post 1940’s semi-detached bungalow reflective of housing seen throughout the area; and “Galloway Cottage” – a pre-1919 1.5-storey mid-terrace dwelling constructed of solid walls which make up the majority of the traditional housing stock throughout Glenkens.
Glenkens & District Trust (GDT) commissioned South of Scotland Community Housing (SOSCH) to undertake a Housing Needs and Demands Assessment (HNDA) for the Trust to understand more about the current and future housing needs of its residents within the area covered by the Glenkens and wider district.
