GCC Application Ref:17/01647/DC

14 July 2017

Dear Sir/Madam

SITE: Site To West Of School Museum 225 Scotland Street Glasgow

PROPOSAL: Use of site (including demolition of buildings) as business space, restaurant/cafe, residential and small scale retail/restuarant cafe development with associated access, parking, landscaping and infrastructure/engineering works.

Your Proposal Of Application Notice, 17/01647/DC, received on 29 June 2017 is considered to be satisfactory.

The notice has been placed on the list of applications where it will remain for as long as it is current.

You are reminded that a period of at least 12 weeks must elapse between giving the notice and submitting any such application. During that time, the required pre-application consultation must take place. The planning application must be accompanied by a pre-application consultation report. An application which does not include the required report is invalid and the Council must decline to determine it. Before doing so, the Council may request additional information. If the Council declines to determine your application, it will advise you of the reason for its opinion that you have not complied with the pre-application consultation requirements.

Glasgow City Council offers processing agreements for all major applications. It is assumed that you will wish to take up this offer unless you formally choose not to do so. I suggest that you should contact the case officer to discuss this process as soon as possible, and to confirm whether you wish to take up this offer.

Should you require any additional information regarding the decision, please contact the case officer
