PLANNING/DEVELOPMENT - We understand, from reference to Glasgow City Plan 2, that the subjects are situated in an area covered by Policy DEV 2 – Residential and Supporting Uses. Whilst the building is Category B listed we would refer to comments above regarding consent for demolition. Previous discussions our clients have had with Glasgow City Council Planning Department indicate that the principle of residential use in the form of a 4/5 storey flatted development would be appropriate if consent was granted for demolition – that consent has now been granted.
Our clients will retain a servitude right of access over the development parking area to obtain access to the parking area of the adjacent Bellahouston Business Centre.
