GOVAN super-cinema, the Lyceum, is a step closer to re-opening its doors to film fans as plans to renovate the 'at risk' building have been submitted to the city council.

The listed 1930s premises on Govan Road hasn't screened films since 1981 and shut down in 2006, when a bingo hall was closed.

But now an application has been sent to Glasgow City Council which requests permission to use the building as a cinema, concert hall and restaurant.

It has been submitted by Mohammad Choudry of Versatyle Ltd, which has offices registered at the site.

The Glasgow Times revealed in November last year how the council had been told the private owner was planning to reopen part of the property as a cinema.

However, a council report stated there was concern among the Govan community that "based on previous track record" work wouldn't go-ahead. Alternative proposals for a music venue were being promoted by Govan Housing Association, the report added.

Mr Choudry's plans state: "There are alterations to be carried out that will turn this class B listed building into a restaurant, concert hall including cafeteria area and the cinema."

They reveal the cinema, which could seat around 500 people, would be on the first floor and open 11am to midnight from Monday to Friday and 11am to 1am at weekends.

The concert hall, on the ground floor, could host musicians and bingo nights or be used for functions and conferences, the plans add.

It could cater for between 800 and 1400 people depending on the lay-out and event, with the option for round table, cinema-style or standing.

The restaurant would hold 90 people and open from from noon until 2.30pm and then 5pm to 10.30pm but "could vary at weekends".

The council report from November also stated: "Officers from planning and building standards continue to respond to, and where possible support, proposals to sensitively restore and bring the former Lyceum cinema back into productive use for the benefit of the local community."

The Lyceum originally opened in December 1938, seating 2600 people. It was built on the site of the 1899 Lyceum Theatre, which had burned down.

In 1974, the auditorium was split, with bingo in the stalls and a 480-seat cinema on the balcony.
