Summary:
- Glasgow City Council has approved plans to create almost 100 studios for students at 137 to 151 Trongate, where three properties currently stand.
- Permission has been granted for a façade retention scheme at the B-listed building from 137 to 143 Trongate — which is set to be extended upwards — while 151 Trongate, also B-listed, will be retained and adapted.
- A smaller building at 145 to 149 Trongate can be knocked down under the plan. The whole site is currently for sale and is being billed as a “prime” purpose-built student accommodation location in Glasgow city centre.
