A former home for priests at a Glasgow church could be turned into student accommodation under new plans.
Glasgow City Council has received a bid to convert the empty presbytery opposite St Roch’s Catholic Church into 13 student bedrooms with en-suite facilities, including a communal kitchen, dining room, gym and library/study room.
The application, from restaurateur Hajar Salih, followed local speculation that the property could be used as temporary accommodation for homeless people.
The 12-apartment villa, known as St Roch’s Presbytery, was built to house parish priests, housekeeping staff and visiting members of the clergy but is currently sitting empty.
