Permission has been granted by councillors for 17 new homes on land at Newton Mearns.
New homes for social rent can be built in Newton Mearns by East Renfrewshire Council despite 37 objections.
Cllr Annette Ireland said: “I’m really pleased to see this before us because I know there’s such demand for socially-rented accommodation in East Renfrewshire just now.” Council planners had recommended it could be approved and said the land had been identified “specifically for the erection of affordable housing”.
In a report to councillors, they added the four-storey part of the building will be “at a point furthest from the adjacent residences to the rear”
