\n But council planners are supportive of Partick Housing Association\u2019s new application to provide 17 flats for social rent. They say it would contribute to \u201cincreased town centre living, directly supporting\u2026 objectives to bring more people into centres to live, not just shop or work\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n There have been 18 objections to the plan, with neighbours saying congestion in the Anniesland area will be exacerbated as no parking for residents is proposed. They also have privacy and noise concerns over a \u201ccommunal deck\u201d on the first floor.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Three letters of support have been received by the council. Councillors on the planning committee will consider the application on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n
\n Currently, only the lower floors of the four-storey property at the junction of Great Western Road and Crow Road are in use. They are occupied by Domino\u2019s Pizza and Bank of Scotland.\n<\/p>\n
\n Under the plan, which would see 11 one-bedroom and six two-bedroom flats created, the ground floor commercial uses would remain.\n<\/p>\n
\n In a report to the planning committee, council officials state the proposal would bring \u201cthe upper floors of a vacant office building back into productive use\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n They add the project supports the \u201cwider aim of increasing residential provision within highly accessible town centre locations\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The report also states: \u201cWhile no off-street parking is proposed specifically for residents, this may be justified by the site\u2019s high accessibility, secure cycle storage provision, and the proposed provision of car club or managed spaces that are electric vehicle enabled.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is recognised that the site has high accessibility by public transport, walking, and cycling.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The decision to reject the application in 2021 was made by the city\u2019s planning local review committee, after the housing association launched an appeal when the council failed to make a ruling in the required timeframe. Four parking spaces were proposed at the time.\n<\/p>\n
\n Responding to the new plan, one objector said Great Western Road already \u201csuffers from congestion and limited parking\u201d and the development would \u201cincrease pressure on already overstretched parking capacity\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
