Finnieston flats and shops plan refused over 'impact on historic environment'

Plans to build 14 flats and two shops in Finnieston have been thrown out due to concerns over their impact on the “historic environment”.

Council officials had recommended HJV Consultants Ltd’s bid to build at 1017 Argyle Street could be approved despite 19 objections.

Those opposed to the plan claimed the building would be too high and the design wasn’t in keeping with neighbouring properties. Glasgow’s planning committee voted in favour of rejecting the application.
