The two-storey building, which will have a capacity of around 700 people, will be delivered next to 1257 London Road, including part of Dalriada Street.

Dalriada Developments said the venue could host events such as live music, corporate dinners, weddings and fashion shows.

Steel containers will be converted into hot food takeaways outlets, with covered seating, to serve visitors to the centre.

A planning report, submitted by architect James Aitchison on behalf of the applicant, states: “The proposals are for a multi-disciplinary arts and events centre which will become one of the leading venues available for hire in the East End of Glasgow. The complex will host a multitude of different types of events.

“This project will ensure that the East End of Glasgow will catch up with the rest of the city to offer this distinct community the same type of event space which is already widely available in the West End and city centre.”

It continues: “There is a growing demand from the East End of Glasgow, in tandem with its regeneration, to have its own venue for the local community to enjoy and that venue to act as a social hub during the day with the spaces being offered to local groups and organisations for them to utilise.

“This type of multi-disciplinary venue has been extremely successful in other major cities across the UK including Manchester and London and this application is the opportunity to bring it to Glasgow

“With the major development works following on from both the Commonwealth Games and the redevelopment of Celtic Park, the opportunity to continue the improvement momentum is illustrated by this application and its place in providing another piece of the Glasgow East End jigsaw.”
