More than 300 student flats planned on empty Glasgow site
A planning application has been submitted for the project, on Meadow Road in Thornwood, which would bring a "long-neglected site" into reuse.
The development would aim to revitalise the area as well as "provide enhanced safety to the immediate public realm through passive surveillance of the street".
Applicant Primer Glasgow Ltd also said the 338-unit purpose-built student accommodation would create a significant increase in economic activity.
Documents reveal that during pre-application engagement with residents, one of the key feedback was to create a plan that "will be completed and not fail".

Papers also state that there were several unsuccessful applications on the land, along with incomplete building attempts.
Currently, its condition is described as "very poor".
Developer Primus Property Group said the structure will be thoughtfully designed to support a modern lifestyle, offering students comfortable and practical living spaces.
Along with the properties, rain gardens, cycle storage, trees, study booths, lounge seating and more amenities are planned.
Glasgow City Council planning officials are evaluating the bid and a decision is expected by Thursday, October 2.
