A Glasgow homeless hotel will be partially demolished to make way for 70 flats.
The Bellgrove Hotel at Gallowgate was bought by Glasgow City Council and the Wheatley Group in 2021, with the last men moving out later that year.
As the Glasgow Times reported in May 2023, the housing association asked the council for permission to redevelop the hotel and surrounding land to provide 70 homes.
The project would see part of the hotel knocked down as the “western wing is too narrow to accommodate flats”.
It is part of the wider masterplan which sits within the Gallowgate Transformational Regeneration Area.
Now, this bid was accepted by planning officials.

Papers state "a decision was taken to examine the viability of retaining as much of the existing hotel building as possible".
It also said: "The development encompasses the Bellgrove Hotel site and the directly adjacent brownfield site to the east.
"The aims of the development are to provide new and exemplary homes for mid-market rent that integrate into the local context and reinforce positive active travel connections to Duke Street around new public green spaces."
