Tunnock’s are set to transform the former Uddingston Police Station if plans are approved.
The firm – which acquired the building for just over £200,000 earlier this year – lodged a change of use application with South Lanarkshire Council in May to allow them to use the site as a storage facility.
However, the proposal has already received one objection from an Uddingston resident worried about implications on traffic.
One person wrote to the council and said: “I would like to point out that consideration needs to be given to traffic problems if large vehicles are involved in bringing or collecting goods.
“Old Glasgow Road is a very busy road for access to housing in the Bothwell Castle Estate as well as to Uddingston Grammar School and the Kylepark area.
“During certain times, there are also a lot of pedestrians heading for the nursery at the church, the school and the supermarket.”
However, Tunnock’s agent’s Nimmo & Partners LPP said in the planning application: “The building will be used for the storage of light equipment not currently in use at Tunnock’s factory.”
The factory lies less than 200m up the road from the former police station.
Officers based at Uddingston Police Station moved to Blantyre in 2016 but the station was still used as a pop-in base by Police Scotland until it was put up for sale in August last year.
