Plans to knock down the former Marks & Spencer on Sauchiehall Street and build student flats are now likely to go ahead.
They believed the scheme would be “harmful” to the surrounding conservation area and would “contribute to an over-provision of student accommodation” in the area. It was also claimed the first plan would have an “over-dominant impact” due to its height. The plans would re-establish an arcade link route from Sauchiehall Street to Renfrew Street and create 9,500 square feet of commercial space at street level.
“Despite some challenges, our commitment to delivering a scheme that we truly believe will enhance Sauchiehall Street has been unfaltering, and we look forward to bringing our vision to life as we move to the construction phase of the project.”
