Glasgow set for skyscraper boom as new planning rules to come in
The guide also provides expectations for building quality, design, and aesthetics.
There is a focus on mixed-use developments, recommending street-level retail and leisure spaces.
This marks a departure from previous decades when building heights were restricted.
The guide anticipates a shift in the city's skyline, aiming to achieve the city centre population densities typical of European cities.
The guidance was developed based on feedback from initial consultations with architects, designers, developers, and amenity organisations, as well as a public consultation that received more than 270 responses.
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, convener for development and land use at Glasgow City Council, said: "Tall buildings will play a significant role in our ambition to grow the city centre population and encouraging major construction projects will be a boost for the local economy and employment.
"Having clear parameters of what we will support, and where, will give clarity to residents and assurances to those who wish to invest and develop in our city.
"Glasgow is very much open for business, and if we want to see a thriving city then we need to build it."
The guidance will be presented to the council's City Administration Committee for final approval.

‘I should be living independently – but I can't afford it'
The full-time worker's inability to buy or rent her own place is highlighted as it was claimed that planning permission for build to rent and student accommodation outstrips affordable housing by over 20 to one in the city. Liz Davidson is just one of the many people affected by Glasgow's housing emergency. She has lived in Partick since she was five years old but says there is no way she could afford the new housing currently being built in the area. 'There are two developments going on near where I live, neither of which is at all affordable to me,' she said. READ MORE: Scottish Government minister joins march in support of Palestine 'I work a full-time job and they would want about 75% of my wages for a one-bedroom flat. Because of this, I've had to make the hard decision to stay living with my gran in her flat, which is a social home. 'At 37, I should be living independently and starting a family but I can't afford to. That's not my shame, it's Glasgow City Council's. They seem to think they're above the rules when it comes to building affordable housing.' The National Planning Framework 4's requirement is that all developments include 25% affordable homes or provide 'commuted sums' to help pay for infrastructure. However purpose built student accommodation is exempt from the rule, making it more attractive to investors. Campaign group Living Rent claim developments of purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) and build to rent in Glasgow outstrip affordable housing by 23 to one. They say only 447 units of affordable housing (mid-market rent and social housing) were approved between February 1 2023, and March 1 2025, while 53.7% of all applications granted planning permission are for PBSA developments in Glasgow. The majority of build-to-rent and PBSA developments are in the city centre, without any affordable housing units. The figures show that the council could be doing much more to alleviate the housing crisis, Living Rent claims. Only two developments by private corporations had an affordable housing contribution, one of 15% and the other of 13%, the Living Rent study says. In addition, the researchers could find no evidence of Glasgow City Council agreeing commuted sums for build-to-rent or private developments that failed to provide the 25% affordable housing component. The council declared a housing emergency in November 2023 citing an 'overwhelming increase' in homelessness. READ MORE: I went to the 'first legal wedding' at the Edinburgh Fringe – here's what it was like As of September 2024, there were more than 7000 people living in temporary accommodation, of which 3100 are children. This is costing the city £36 million a year for B&B spend, a 40% increase over the last three years. Glasgow has also seen a 22% increase in homelessness applications in the year from September 2023 to 4241. This is not helped by the rise in private rental prices. Since 2010, rent has increased 81.8% for a two bedroom property, over 30% above inflation (50%). Bianca Lopez, a Living Rent's spokesperson, said Glasgow was quickly becoming a city that prioritised the interests of developers over the wellbeing of its residents. 'Glaswegians don't need more student accommodation or expensive build-to-rent,' she said. 'We need social and affordable housing. 'Across Glasgow, people are being forced out of their communities, pushed into poverty and, in some cases, made homeless by the shortage of affordable places to live. 'Our report exposes the hypocrisy of Glasgow City Council and their failures to take action on affordable housing, despite announcing a housing emergency. 'It's unbelievable that the council has chosen to prioritise private developers' profits over the homes that Glasgow so badly needs.' Lopez said the council needed to prioritise affordable homes in its planning system and shift the balance away from unaffordable tenures such as PBSA and build to rent. 'It needs to implement the 25% requirement in NPF4 across the board. Only then will it be able to deliver the social and affordable housing that Glasgow deserves,' she said. What is the council saying? A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: 'We do not recognise these figures. Around a half of all homes built in Glasgow every year are affordable/social, and comparing student rooms to new homes with a number of bedrooms is not comparing like for like. In Glasgow, there is a very high proportion of social homes built compared with the figures for any other Scottish or UK local authority.' The spokesperson added that planning applications did not lead to a development. 'If a housing association puts in a planning application for a development of social/affordable homes, then it will have support for funding and will in all likelihood be built out,' he said. 'This is not always the case for PBSA or build to rent.' However Living Rent said this was ignoring the 'fundamental point' of their research. 'The council is trying to pull the wool over our eyes by citing past data and ignoring the fundamental point of what our research says: their planning approvals are favouring unaffordable housing which will push up rents and push us out of the city centre,' said a spokesperson. 'Unless action is taken now, Glaswegians who have lived here their whole lives will be forced out by high rents and a lack of social housing. Glasgow needs social and affordable housing developments to be prioritised not PBSA and build-to-rent developments. 'If the developments that have received planning approval go ahead or developments seeking approval are granted permission, Glasgow and particularly the city centre would become increasingly gentrified. 'Our city centre will be a playground for the rich, all the while enabling foreign investment funds huge returns.' With regards to comparing student accommodation with other housing developments, Living Rent said it would be wrong to count a student development as one unit when it contained hundreds of beds. 'Many social housing developments did not specify the number of beds, so the 'unit' metric is imperfect but the closest way to compare what is being approved,' said the spokesperson. 'Even if we assume that a social home is on average 2.5 beds, approved purpose-built student accommodation and build-to-rent developments still vastly outstrip social and affordable housing by eight to one.'

Inside ‘secret' plans to turn iconic Glasgow building into ‘one of Europe's finest hotels'
It's one of Glasgow's biggest American-Classical-style commercial buildings UNDER WRAPS Inside 'secret' plans to turn iconic Glasgow building into 'one of Europe's finest hotels' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PLANS are in progress to transform an iconic Glasgow building into one of Europe's "finest" hotels. The B-listed 95 Bothwell Street building in the city centre is understood to be mostly empty. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Plans have been lodged with Glasgow City Council to transform 95 Bothwell Street Credit: Google Maps It's one of Glasgow's biggest American Classical-style commercial buildings. Proposals to turn it into a 235-room hotel have been submitted to the council. But details about the hotel company eyeing to take over the building have been kept under wraps. A statement about the proposed design read: 'The proposed confidential hotel operator is particularly excited about the potential provided by the building to create a best-in-class hotel of distinction, which they anticipate will be one of the finest in their operator's European portfolio. 'The listed building is soon to become entirely unoccupied. The commercial office use for which the building was built and designed is no longer viable. "The building has early indications of corrosion of the structural steel frame, which needs to be addressed to prevent damage to the significant external masonry façade. 'The proposed development is conservation-led and will integrate and repurpose the significant parts of the listed building into the new hotel use, whilst retaining its external appearance and presence within the street.' HFD Property Group Limited has lodged a planning permission request to alter the use of the building from 'offices at upper floors and restaurant/cafe and retail on ground floor to hotel". The proposals also include constructing a two-storey roof extension. Glasgow City Council is considering the application.

Fury over 'overgrown' Glasgow cemetery where woman's loved ones are buried
Ceilidh McPherson is "absolutely appalled" with the condition of the cemetery where her grandparents were laid to rest. A granddaughter has blasted council bosses over the state of the cemetery where her family are buried - saying she had to clean the place herself once a month. Ceilidh McPherson is incensed at Glasgow City Council over the state of Sandymount Cemetery, near Barlanark and Springboig, in the east end of the city. She shared pictures of the cemetery with Glasgow Live as she hit out over the burial ground, which is overgrown with weeds and long grass and had toppled over headstones and litter throughout the area. She feels that Glasgow City Council"doesn't care" about how the cemetery looks and has been forced to tidy up her grandparents' graves herself. Ceilidh said: "My gran died in 2000 and was buried in Sandymount. At the time they were just getting rid of the grounds keepers so it was spotless. "Growing up, we went every Saturday, and I noticed the lack of grass cutting and care to the cemetery. We recently buried my granda in 2020 there and noticed full-on neglect from then to now. "The graves are sinking and overgrown with weeds and grass. Weeds are so high. I'm 5ft 6 and they're as tall as me nearly. I now go to the graves few times a month to clear what I can. All stones are now falling over you can't tell who's who. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

"The people that live there are throwing their rubbish onto the gravesites and not caring. I'm absolutely shocked and livid that the council isn't doing anything about it. "We should always respect the dead, they deserve a forever resting place that's well kept. Not a rubbish overgrown pits. Dunbartonshire cares more about its gravesites than Glasgow City Council does." A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: 'Fly-tipping is unacceptable in any circumstances but it is grossly insensitive in a place where people go to mourn. 'We have a maintenance programme in place for Sandy Mount Cemetery which includes regular grass cuts, strimming around headstones and the application of herbicide where necessary." The council's spokesperson added: 'Our teams are scheduled to visit the cemetery in the coming days to undertake the next round of work. 'There has also been significant investment in the cemetery in recent years with new tarmac paths laid down and an extensive stretch of cemetery wall rebuilt. 'If anyone encounters fly-tipping or other issues of environmental concern within our cemeteries or other open spaces then these can be reported by the council's website, the MyGlasgow phone app or through the @MyGlasgowCC social media accounts.'
