Glasgow City Council's planning committee approved the proposals to turn the former Pollokshields West Church into 17 new flats.
The B-listed church, which was built between 1875 and 1879, later became a care home and children's nursery. The plans submitted to the local authority for its new conversion were approved with contingencies to safeguard the character of the building.READ MORE: Man who taunted gang after losing leg in gangland attack faces jail over 140mph police chaseThe decision reads: "“The proposal will reuse a vacant listed building and bring it back into residential use.
“The proposal would have a positive visual impact transforming the vacant building into high quality spacious flats for the local community and families. “The creation of 17 residential flats would have no greater impact than the care home and nursery on the amenity of existing residents."
