Planning chiefs are backing a proposal to convert a vacant bookies Partick into a restaurant.
The former Ladbrokes bookmakers, on the corner of Dumbarton Road and Hayburn Street, has been lying empty for some time.
City planners have now approved an application by Sava Estates seeking breathe life back into the Partick property.
The planning statement for the new restaurant said that the new eatery would provide hot food takeaways.
They said: “The proposed development will animate this corner by introducing a quality restaurant which will wrap around both elevations.
“This will add to the range of other facilities in the area and contribute to the streetscape, particularly in the evenings and winter months when the splay of light from the full size windows will illuminate the footpath and, in the process engender, a feeling of safety and security which will contribute greatly to the overall feeling of well-being.
“The fact that it will operate throughout a wide spectrum of the day will mean that there will be activity and an energy at this locus which will contribute to the sense of place so important in fostering community spirit.”
