SIM Building Group had previous plans to demolish Cranhill offices and build homes rejected, but has returned to the council with a revised application.

SIM Building Group has submitted a new bid to develop a site at Ruchazie Place, after an i nitial proposal was rejected in 2022 and refused on appeal last year.

Council planners rejected the original proposal due to concerns over “poor quality” design, an “excessive” car parking area and failure to provide “adequate” outdoor space. They also wanted more information on flood risk. Plans include a “communal amenity space”, between the building and Gartcraig Road, as well as a communal drying area, bike store and eight car parking spaces. A bank of 36 solar panels are proposed on the roof.
