A decision is expected on the proposals by Monday, June 9.
The Glasgow Times reported in December 2022 that plans to turn the unit into a restaurant were refused by the council due to the fact the restaurant would result in more than 20% of the units in the street block being used for food, drink and entertainment purposes which would be in breach of policy.

(Image: Lucid Interiors) The decision noticed stated the restaurant would "result in an increase in noise, activity and cooking fumes and would unacceptably impact on the residential amenity of neighbouring properties".
Plans to open a restaurant with a takeaway at the site were also refused in 2021 on the basis the takeaway would negatively impact the area.
A subsequent application was made for an amusement arcade which was also refused.

Glasgow congestion charge risks ‘displacement of business'
It comes as Glasgow City Council is to discuss plans that would also include a charge for the Clyde Tunnel. Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, warned over the move. READ MORE: He said: "We cannot support a city-wide congestion charge until public transport improvements have been made in line with the conclusions of the Connectivity Commission. "We are very concerned about the possible displacement of business out of Glasgow. 'We believe the City Council needs support from the Scottish Government to deliver priority transport projects such as the Clyde Metro and the Glasgow City Region Bus Partnership improvement plan."

Glasgow parking permit prices rise by hundreds - how much will you pay?
The price of parking permits in Glasgow has risen by hundreds of pounds for drivers across the city. From Tuesday, resident parking fees will be based on a vehicle's carbon emissions and the number of permits issued to each address. It means that instead of paying £85 a year to park your car in most of the city, drivers now face paying up to £220 – for the most polluting vehicles. The cost could be even higher for those in a household with multiple vehicles. If you require a fourth parking permit, residents will have to pay up to £595 a year. However, those with low-emission electric or hybrid cars will pay a slightly reduced price of £80. Previously, the cost of a parking permit varied depending on your neighbourhood. Areas such as Hillhead and and Garnethill had the lowest price of £85. While city centre residents were charged £325. But from Tuesday, August 19, the prices are the same across Glasgow. A resident parking permit allows you to park in an on-street parking space within the zone stated on your permit. The council says the new pricing structure is in line with current vehicle tax rates that are charged by the DVLA. CO2 emissions/# of permit First Second Third Fourth 0 – 50g/km £80 £205 £330 £445 51 – 150g/km £150 £275 £400 £525 151 – 190g/km £170 £295 £420 £545 191 – 225g/km £195 £320 £445 £570 226+ g/km £220 £335 £470 £595 The new approach to parking permit charges comes after Glasgow hit its air pollution target for the first time. Glasgow's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) came into force on June 1, 2023, and was set up to cut emissions and pollution by stopping older vehicles from entering the city centre. Air pollution has been falling since the LEZ came into effect two years ago, and the reductions have been 'greater than predicted', a council report found. Following the initial positive results in the first year, a council committee report said there were further 'significant reductions' in the levels of pollution across the city in 2024, particularly within the area of the LEZ. It was the first time Glasgow met all of its statutory air pollution objectives since the Local Air Quality Management process was established in 1995. As well as updating the parking permit charges, Glasgow City Council is investigating the possibility of rolling out a congestion charge and a Clyde Tunnel toll as part of efforts to reduce car use and increase revenue.

City's overnight cleansing team doubled after criticism of 'dirty streets'
More workers are now cleaning Glasgow's streets overnight following a recruitment drive which council chiefs say will lead to 'a difference in the condition of the city'. The street cleansing night-shift team has doubled from 40 to 80 staff members after Glasgow City Council agreed to invest £7m in frontline services at its budget meeting in February. That commitment is expected to see 200 new posts in street cleansing and parks operations created, and the expanded overnight team is now getting to work. They will help ensure Glasgow is in the best possible condition by the start of the following morning and improve the response to major events in the city, the council has said. Cllr Laura Doherty, SNP, city convener for neighbourhood services and assets, said: 'We know our teams can work very effectively overnight as the streets are quieter and they can get about the city more quickly. 'Doubling the size of the street cleansing team will mean our staff can get through more of the work that matters to our residents — picking litter, power washing, street sweeping and emptying bins. 'People may not see our expanded night shift team going about their work, but I am very confident they will see a difference in the condition of the city.' The investment comes after the council has faced criticism over dirty streets and the amount of litter and fly-tipping. Glasgow's household survey for 2024 found the main reasons that respondents were dissatisfied with council services included poor maintenance/cleanliness and issues with waste and refuse collection. Cllr Doherty said: 'We've invested in our street cleansing service because we know this is a priority for local residents. 'Our investment, and the hard work of our staff, will help provide us with cleaner, safer streets throughout Glasgow and a city centre we can be proud of.' The investment will also see a deep clean team for all of the city's 23 wards. They will tackle overgrown vegetation, weeds, litter in hard-to-teach places and other environmental issues. There will also be a neighbourhood clean team in each ward to provide a 'rapid response' to concerns such as fly-tipping and spillages. The city's SNP and Green groups agreed a budget deal, which saw council tax rise by 7.5%, in February. At the time, city treasurer Ricky Bell, SNP, said Glaswegians were being asked 'to contribute a bit more to this budget', adding: 'A bit more which lead to significant investment in cleansing, in teachers, in parks and in our weans.'
