20-floor Glasgow hotel will not be called-in by Scottish Government

The development of a 20-floor hotel complete with a sky bar overlooking the River Clyde in Glasgow has been given the green light to progress after Scottish Ministers opted not to intervene in the planning application.The 204-bed development on the corner of Dixon Street and Clyde Street was initially approved by Glasgow City Council in 2017.Under the plans, the existing three-storey building facing the La Paionaira monument will be demolished and replaced with a ground-floor restaurant, café and gym.The Young & Gault Architects-designed tower will also incorporate the city’s first publicly accessible rooftop bar.The application was sent for scrutiny to Scottish Ministers following objections from Historic Environment Scotland and SPT.But, in a letter from November 7, the Scottish Government confirmed it would not be intervening in the application and authorised the council to deal with the proposal as it desired.Project team:Client Citihome Glasgow LtdArchitectural Team MDS Architecture, Johannesburg / AITA, London / Alex Macgregor, Glasgow / Young and Gault (Architecture and Design) Ltd, GlasgowStructural Engineer Ramage YoungPlanning Consultant Ryden LLPCost Consultant Allan & HanelM&E Consultant RSP Consulting Engineers LLPTransport Consultant Dougall Baillie Associates LtdMicroclimate Consultant Hurley Palmer FlattAcoustic Consultant Sharps RedmoreFlood Risk Consultant Kaya Consulting LtdGeo-Tech.
