An application to improve the existing shopfronts at the Artizan Centre located on College Way, which was previously granted by the local planning department, will also see the creation of a new town square, an open space and play space.
The plans are part of a wider masterplan to regenerate the area, which is being considered as a separate application in principle, which looks to redevelop the site and partially repurpose the existing buildings where possible.
The masterplan seeks to create a new high-quality public realm which will be used for residential, retail, leisure/food and beverage purposes and provide a healthcare facility.
It comes after West Dunbartonshire Council successfully applied to the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund to tackle the decline of Dumbarton Town Centre and deliver three key projects in the town, one of which is the Artizan Centre.

Proposals for the initial stage of the masterplan were approved last November subject to conditions that meant that during the period of construction, all audible work and ancillary operations should be carried out between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday and between 8am and 1pm on Sunday unless otherwise approved.
This was applied “to ensure that the development does not adversely affect the amenity of neighbouring properties by creating excessive noise and disturbance at unsocial hours.”
The developer has now requested a change in these conditions that allows the hours of working to be amended, which will be presented to members of the planning committee next Wednesday.
If approved, work can be carried out between the hours submitted on the approved schedule in addition to the standard working hours previously agreed.
There will be no working on Sundays or public holidays and where changes to the programme are required, an amended schedule shall be submitted to the planning authority prior to the changes being made.
