The closed club was badly damaged by an arson attack
East Renfrewshire planners had rejected a bid to convert the Columba Club, on Darnley Road, due to road safety concerns and the proposed loss of seven trees.
It argued: “There are only seven trees being proposed to be felled in order to provide significantly improved visibility and safer access and exit from the site.”The plan had been rejected as there were “public safety” concerns due to a lack of “sufficient parking provision” as well as “insufficient” visibility splays.
When the committee met again earlier this month, Cllr Paul Edlin and Cllr Chris Lunday voted in favour of approving the plan. Provost Mary Montague recorded her dissent “on the grounds of public safety”. Cllr Lunday said if the applicant met the new conditions then he “would be minded to accept the application because I think that was a major concern”.
