A planning application has been lodged with Glasgow City Council (09/01421/DC) for 'Erection of residential development involving retention of front facade of listed building together with associated landscaping, access and basement car parking area.' This involves in-filling of the gap site to the right of the N building, and demolition of all accomodation behind the facade of the N building. Advertised in the Edinburgh Gazette of 7 August 2009. As the original use of the building ceased some time ago, no additional recording beyond our current record will be made through TBS.
