PLANS have been submitted to transform a former Dr Martens store into a new cafe.

Black Sheep Coffee has asked for permission to use the empty unit at 50 Sauchiehall Street as a cafe and for retail use. 

The Dr Martens shop shut two years ago before the brand opened a new store on Buchanan Street last year.

The coffee chain already has a store further up at 254 Sauhiehall Street as well as a unit at Glasgow Central station.
