The site is currently occupied by a shop, a takeaway, a pub and an old engineering workshop.

Glasgow officials have refused the proposal although a decision notice giving their reasons have not yet been posted on the council’s planning portal.

The development was to comprise of 28 one-bedroom flats and 14 two-bedroom flats around a central courtyard. Twelve undercroft car parking spaces were proposed.

A document submitted with the application reads: “The design of the block was envisaged as a contemporary interpretation of the traditional four-story Glasgow tenement.”

A previous application seeking to convert the workshop part of the site, which is accessed via a pend, into a 17-bedroom hotel and guest house was refused by Glasgow officials several years ago.
