Park Living (Residential) Ltd had intended to develop an area behind 155 Queen Margaret Drive into four new homes, accessed through a pend.

Under the plans, light industrial buildings on the site, that may originally have been stables, would have been cleared.

Rejecting the application, council officials said there was a lack of amenity space for residents and that the development would negatively affect the sunlight available to two neighbouring gardens.

Submitting an appeal against the decision in March, Park Living highlighted that the footprint of the proposed building is only nine square metres more than the existing premises and that the density is within the acceptable range for an inner urban area.

Addressing a further planning department concern, the planning statement reads that the one unit which is single aspect benefits from natural lighting in all rooms and from roof lights.

It was further argued that issues regarding privacy, lack of amenity space and negative impact on sunlight at neighbouring properties were not serious enough to warrant refusal.

However, councillors on Glasgow City Council’s local review board have now upheld the original decision.
