Plans to build “new tenements” with over 130 flats and six shops in Finnieston have been approved despite almost 300 objections.
AR Ltd, part of Scottish development and investment firm Ambassador Group, has secured permission to build on a Lidl car park.building is also included in the application, to provide a new car park for Lidl.However, 292 people, including two local councillors, objected to the development, which they believe will be too large, over dominate surrounding buildings and lead to a loss of sunlight.
“Any development on this site must be sympathetic to existing architectural character. In my view, and in the view of many hundreds of objectors, including the Architectural Heritage Society ofCllr Angus Millar, who also represents the ward, said he was concerned the height of the development could “detract from the setting and the character of the conservation area”.
Mr Wood said ground floor shops will provide “an active street frontage” and the development will “be one of the first in Glasgow to have homes heated by individual domestic scale internal air source heat pumps”. “But I would have hoped that the building would have been a bit more sympathetic in terms of its scale and massing than it seems to be.”
