Residents are concerned about the demolition of the building and the proposed development.

Almost 80 people have objected to Surplus Property Investments’ bid to demolish the two-storey villa – previously part of the Bon Secours Hospital site in Langside – and build 16 flats.

However, there were a total of 78 objections, including from Cllr Bruce and Langside, Battlefield and Camphill Community Council. A council official said the planning department was “satisfied” that the developers had demonstrated it is “not financially viable” to bring the building back into use. An initial viability letter, submitted in January 2022, had said costs to repair and reinstate the building to an occupiable position would be between £335,000 and £435,000, excluding VAT.

It would “not have a significant impact on the adjacent residential properties in terms of overshadowing or loss of daylight”, they said.
