The former Lorne Hotel on Sauchiehall Street is to be turned into student accommodation despite concerns from locals
Plans to transform a former hotel on Sauchiehall Street into student accommodation has been given the go-ahead despite concerns of there already being too many in the area.
Seven objections were submitted against the proposal with locals stating that there is already 'too high a concentration of student accommodation in the area' and that it would put a strain on local facilities.Cllr Angus Millar’s objection, submitted in June, said: “While I welcome the general approach of the applicants to the treatment of the building, including proposed recladding, I wish to object to the proposed use as student accommodation.
In response, developers said that the area is out with the area of concentration of South Partick/ Yorkhill and and that "the local area has been analysed and found not to have too high a concentration of student accommodation".
