A-listed Glasgow church to be transformed - here's the new plan
A new planning application has been submitted to transform an A-listed Glasgow church. Hyndland Parish Church could become a multi-purpose community hall with a bar, a restaurant, a mezzanine and more. Applicant G12 Holdings Limited said it is "passionate about the vibrant history and beauty of the property" and applied to change the use of the building in order to extend its life. If successful, the new community hall would be adapted as needed by the community and the general public. The new space would be a vibrant cultural hub, open seven days a week to "visit and enjoy its historical features and ambience". This would include a cafe and restaurant called The Kingsborough. It would also be a space for choir recitals, performing arts, as well as exhibitions for the visual arts and conferences. Documents state: "We want to provide an exciting new facility, which will allow a wider community to engage and understand more about the building and appreciate the unique collection of stained glass contained within the church." The layout of the new hub would contain a bar, a kitchen, private dining facilities, exhibition space and more. Care would also be taken to make the historic site accessible.

"The building was used by the Church of Scotland until 2017, for church services, community concerts, local community groups and the creative industries. "Due to declining church attendance, the congregations of both Broomhill and Hyndland united with Broomhill church chosen as the centre of worship." The site was refurbished in the 90s but there are concerns about its current state, especially due to water ingress. Glasgow City Council planning officials are reviewing the application and a decision is expected by Friday, September 5.
