Residents feared the plan would lead to more noise, litter and cause safety concerns.
A hospitality firm has lost an appeal over a controversial bid to turn 41 homes in a Glasgow apartment block into serviced flats.
However, an independent reporter has now dismissed the appeal as the plan for 3, 5 and 7 Minerva Way comes into “direct conflict” with council policy on short-stay accommodation. The appeal stated: “The reasons for refusal appear to be based on concerns raised by local residents. In absence of evidence of actual problems, those concerns appear to be based on perceptions, which perhaps misunderstand the nature of the use; and assume, incorrectly, that serviced apartments inherently impact on amenity more than residential use.”
Politicians, including Alison Thewliss MP, Patrick Harvie MSP, Kaukab Stewart MSP and local councillors Christy Mearns, Angus Millar and Philip Braat, were among the 100 objectors to the plans. There were 11 letters of support.
