The planning application for a change of use of the building at 4-8 Novar Drive was agreed by the planning committee after a site visit and hearing on 2nd September.
At the hearing, objections were raised about the plans. Reference was made to the
planning history of the site. It is noted that the last application
granted planning permission temporary use as an industrial unit and
office which is class 5. It should be recognised any plans for this
building should focus on its re-used for offices and industrial
workshop as this is consistent with previous use.
The proposal is for a conversion of the building in to class 1 shop which is seen to not preserve and enhance the
character and appearance of the Glasgow West conservation area. The size and scale of the retail provision is expected to put pressure on existing retailers and may have a negative impact on the local economy, in particular other local shops within the Hyndland area.
Hyndland Road Shops, next to Old Station Park.
Currently, residents are giving consideration to a proposal for a loading bay and changes to parking arrangements at Hyndland Road next to the site, which are part of the College Cycle Route.
