Planning permission for the site had been refused after Glasgow planners felt the proposals would lead to overdevelopment of the area and voiced concerns that there would not be enough communal garden and open space.

Officials added that there was no detail provided regarding car and cycle parking and that there was an overuse of parking to the front of the building, reGlasgow reports.

A report submitted by planners reads: “There has been no justification in terms of place-making for the developer to seek a four-storey flatted development.

“The built form proposed would be a very prominent feature on the street when compared to the existing townscape which includes two-storey housing and three-storey flats and cannot be supported in layout, scale and massing or design terms.”

However, at the local review committee meeting this week, councillors on Glasgow’s local review body have voted 2:1 in favour of the development.

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman, said: “It is proposed to develop 24 flats and a terrace of three four-storey tenement blocks fronting onto Edrom Street.

“There will be 24 parking spaces provided in front of the development. A pre-application report set out a number of areas of concern that made the proposal in its current form unsupportable.”

A supporting document submitted on the applicant’s behalf emphasised that four-storey residential and commercial properties “surround the site”.

Regarding parking, the document revealed that the development would be just 100 metres from a main bus route and is close to Carntyne Station. The document also stated that there are several residential blocks with front-located parking nearby.

On the topic of amenity space, the appeal statement indicated that the flats would be within 100 metres of Tollcross Park.
