A shisha bar previously opened on the south side site without planning permission until council enforcement officers stepped in.
A café in Glasgow’s south side has launched a new bid to offer shisha smoking — after enforcement officers previously stopped the practice.
However, it is not the first time officers have stepped in to deal with issues at the site, as a shisha bar previously opened without planning permission. The new application, under consideration by council planners, stated the operators want to “incorporate a facility for shisha smoking” within the café.
Sky Lounge’s application added: “The introduction of this shisha café on this site is particularly significant as the wider area is home to the largest Muslim population in Scotland, and shisha smoking is a popular leisure activity among this group. Previous plans for a shisha bar were rejected as officials ruled the opening hours would have an “unacceptable impact” on nearby residents and proposed flues, for cooking odours, would be “detrimental to the character and appearance of the local area”.
