Plans put forward to replace pub in Anniesland with block of flats

Plans have been put forward to replace a pub in Anniesland with new flats.

Detail Architecture have submitted plans to Glasgow City Council to demolish The Signal bar on Fulton Street, with the site redeveloped to comprise of six new flats.

The new flats, five two-bedroom flats and one one-bedroom flat, would be contained within one three storey block.

With the north half of the site (where the pub car park exists) used for parking for cars alongside a private recreational space for residents.

In respect of the design of the flats, Detail Architecture wishes to "subconsciously evoke the folk-memory of the railway signal box" that once stood on the site and which gave the pub, which opened in 1971, its original name The Signal Box.

While a design statement by the architects contained within the planning application notes that: "We feel an opportunity exists to create a landmark building on this site, of genuine merit in contemporary architectural terms".
