Controversial plans to demolish Shawlands Arcade and build 600 homes are set to take a step forward as council planners have recommended the principle of development is approved.
Hundreds of people have objected to the plan, with concerns over a lack of affordable housing, the “pressure” on congested streets and loss of daylight for nearby homes.
The landowners Clydebuilt LP — a partnership between Strathclyde Pension Fund and Ediston Real Estate — want to redevelop the site to provide flats and retail space.
