PLANS have been submitted to council chiefs to build a towering block of flats between two A-listed Glasgow buildings.
If given the green light, the former headquarters of social enterprise organisation The Wise Group in Charlotte Street in Carlton will be transformed into 65 apartments, ranging from one through to three-bedroom properties.
There would also be a private outdoor communal space and roof terraces.

The site, which is near to Glasgow Green, sits between a classical villa and the 1960s extension of the former Our Lady and St Francis Secondary, which was designed by acclaimed architect Jack Coia.
A design document included with the application to planning bosses states: “The existing site will be cleared to facilitate the creation of a vibrant, dynamic development prompting liveable urban density.
