Renfrewshire Council has been accused of wasting money and ignoring national planning policies as it tries for a second time to demolish part of Kelvin House.
The local authority is seeking planning permission to knock down the two-storey tower building and bridge link, which form the southern portion of the C-listed structure in Marshall’s Lane.
It states the demolition would aid investigations into how the facade of the James Steel Maitland-designed building could be retained. But campaigner Duncan Macintosh says the work is both unnecessary and in contravention of Scottish Government planning policy.
