The company hope to install replacement cladding and new and replacement doors, as well as forming an enclosed dog walking area at the back partly covered with a canopy.
The purpose of the dog walking area will primarily be to provide a secure place where dogs can go out and relieve themselves.
The current application, which is currently awaiting decision, was received and validated by East Renfrewshire Council this month.

The site previously traded as Brewer's Fayre before later operating as Toby Carvery before its closure in March 2019.
Following the closure of the Toby Carvery, a funeral parlour operator intended to occupy the building, and secured planning consent for this change of use at appeal.
A lease was agreed with a funeral director company to commence in June 2022, but it is understood that this use was very short lived as the property was returned to the market by May 2024.
During 2024, terms were agreed for a new lease of the premises for the branch of the clinic and consent was obtained to allow this change of use.
The refit will include five consultation rooms in which minor procedures can be conducted, together with three operating theatres and an associated preparation area.
There will also be a separate recovery ward for dogs and cats, together with a reception with waiting areas that are separated for customers with dogs from those with cats.
Ancillary facilities will include a conference/lecture room for staff training, administration offices, and staffroom/kitchen areas.
Two upstairs rooms will be fitted out to enable staff members to rest between rounds for occasions when an animal must be kept in under supervision overnight.

Bus firm owned by former Rangers directors doubles profits
We revealed this week that McGill's, the 'largest independent bus firm in the UK', posted that the earnings rise was partly down to acquisitions. James and Sandy Easdale.

The firm said: 'McGill's Bus Group is Britain's largest independently owned bus company and a pioneer in fleet decarbonisation, with over 110 zero emission electric buses.'

(Image: PA) At times like these the dogmatic nature of politics must really frustrate people in business. While Sir Keir Starmer sticks to his Government's red lines on Europe – meaning there will be no return to the single market, no re-joining the customs union and no freedom of movement under his watch – the UK's economic prospects will continue to be constrained. This includes in Scotland, which of course voted resoundingly to remain in the European Union in the referendum of 2016, and has been living with the consequences since. But how long can the current state of affairs continue? Starmer has so far resisted calls from the Scottish Government to introduce a "Scottish visa" to help the country deal with the labour shortages it faces, but the issue is simply not going away.

(Image: Newsquest) Whelks, mussels and white sugar-coated doughnuts might well be what first come to mind when you picture food from The Barras Market in Glasgow. None of the above is wrong, with the Loch Fyne Shellfish Bar on London Road celebrating 65 years in business and Danny's Donuts still firing up their fryers every weekend. But elsewhere, thanks to a team who have invested time and effort into curating a line-up of street food vendors unlike any other, The Barras has slowly but surely evolved into one of the city's most exciting foodie destinations. As part of our Barras Reborn series, The Herald sat down with market manager Chris Butler to discuss the influx of independent culinary talent now based in the East End and how this contributes to the shifting identity of a 104-year-old cultural landmark.

Powys student's Aries sculpture made from farm machinery
A SCULPTURE of a ram's head – made from steel rods, recycled from old farm machinery by a young Powys arts student – has been unveiled to mark the 180th anniversary of the Royal Agricultural University (RAU). Seventeen-year-old Harlan Beales, who is currently studying for an extended diploma in art, design and creative practice at Hereford College of Arts, designed the sculpture, which has been named 'Aries', in tandem with former RAU student Will Carr, before fabricating it by himself. Aries was recently unveiled by RAU vice chancellor, professor Peter McCaffery, at a special lunch held at the Cirencester-based University which was founded in 1845 as the first agricultural college in the English-speaking world. Harlan, from Hay-on-Wye, said: 'It has been amazing for me to have been involved with this. 'I've made smaller pieces before but this is the first large scale sculpture I've made. 'I'm excited that it will be at the RAU forever. My aunt lives in Cirencester so I can visit the sculpture whenever I come to see her.' He added: 'Will and I worked together on the design; he was able to make 3D projections and I made two paper models to get the scale right. 'I used Will's workshop, getting guidance from Will and his fabricator at key points during the build. 'It is made from 6mm steel rods which Will had on his farm. Our initial plan was to make it using old bits of farm machinery and plough parts, but it looked so beautiful when we'd just welded the rods that we decided to leave it as it was.' Will, who previously studied civil and environmental engineering at Nottingham University, joined the RAU in 2015 to study agriculture, before taking on his family's 200-hectare mixed, arable and beef farm in the village of Weobley, near Hereford. Alongside running the farm, Will has made a successful sculpture business, employing two people, and has sold sculptures across the world, including to the United States and Australia, and public sculptures across the UK. In 2015 he made a barley ears sculpture for the RAU's 170th anniversary which now stands overlooking the university's Bathurst Lawn. He said: 'I felt very honoured to be asked to make another piece for the RAU and it was great to be able to work alongside Harlan; we worked really well as a team. 'The joined metal bars of Aries symbolise the interconnected mesh of human brains coming together, very (much) like at this university, where information is shared making a joint neural network.' RAU vice-chancellor Mr McCaffery said: 'As we celebrate our 180th anniversary we ae immensely proud of the contribution our 17,000+ alumni have made as leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators to agriculture and the land-based sector. 'The Aries sculpture is a fitting tribute to the creativity, ingenuity and commitment to sustainability that characterises our students today.' Originally established in 1845 as the Royal Agricultural College, the first agricultural college in the English-speaking world and with just 25 students, the RAU gained university status in 2013. The university now has around 1,100 students at its Cirencester campus as well as more than 3,000 studying worldwide with its many international partners.

Plan to build five-bed houses close to Barrhead town centre
An application for planning permission in principle has been submitted to East Renfrewshire Council to build properties on land to the north-east of Dubbs Road. This land is at the rear of Montfort Gate/Montfort Park and opposite Cowan Park. Ramzan Properties hope to construct five detached four or five-bedroom villas that will sit slightly back from Dubbs Road. The application also outlines proposals for associated access roads, the upgrade of an existing access road and the formation of a passing place. READ NEXT: Project to explore viability of self-driving bus service in Glasgow READ NEXT: Mrs Brown's Boys and Strictly TV stars spotted at plush hotel near Renfrewshire Vehicle access to the development would be via Dubbs Road to the south of the site with two shared off-road driveways. It is planned that private driveways will be located to the front of each house offering three spaces each. The applicant's supporting statement said the development will 'promote town centre living' by providing detached family homes minutes away from essential local amenities, education centres and urban greenspace. They also said the development will 'help meet the local housing needs through dwellings that promote healthy lifestyle and wellbeing' and improve on the wider qualities and character of the area.' 'The preservation of trees and the introduction of new trees on site will support homes built in an attractive natural space and assist the surrounding biodiversity of the area,' they added. The application, which is currently awaiting decision, was received by the council in May and validated last week.
