Fresh plans for a partial demolition of Paisley’s Kelvin House – which would keep its façade – have been brought forward by Renfrewshire Council.
The local authority now wants to knock down the “deteriorating” two-storey tower building and bridge link, which form the southern portion of the C-listed structure in Marshall’s Lane.
It said this would allow “assessment” of whether the front can be retained as part of a potential redevelopment of the site, alongside neighbouring B-listed Forbes Place, and mitigate the visual impact on the character of the conservation area.
