A Southside dentist has lodged plans to expand its premises. 

Strathbungo Dentist wants to take over an empty unit next door to their current practice at 565 Pollokshaws Road. 

A statement in a planning application, lodged with Glasgow City Council this week, reads: "Change of use from class 1 (shop) to class 2 (dentist) with associated changes to shopfront and internal layout to increase size of current practice."

The application adds that the unit at the centre of the plans has been empty for a number of years. 

Glasgow City Council planners are expected to make a decision on the plan by April 6.

The last date for comments from the public is March 13.
