The project hopes to 'give the Briggait back its iconic status as an important building for Glasgow and its people”.
The refurbishment of rundown parts of Glasgow’s A-listed Briggait Clydeside Halls has been given the green light — with plans to create a new market and event space.
It has secured funding to restore sections of the building and intends to develop a “creative industries hub and market hall food and drink destination”.Planning officials have now approved an application which detailed how the charity will provide “accessible and flexible event and market halls” from the Clyde Street site.
The application revealed the scheme intends to repair and restore parts of the building, improve the carbon efficiency, create a “vibrant entrance” on Clyde Street and convert the corner block into a “stand-alone unit”.
Development will now focus on a 1904 hall, 1889 hall and a 1904 corner block, as well as an external gap site.
