A NEIGHBOURHOOD shopping and commercial centre — including a drive-thru coffee shop — is being proposed for a site at Darnley Mains.

The development would be beside The Old Plane Tree pub/restaurant and across from the B&Q superstore at Waukglen Road/Leggatston Road on the southern outskirts of Glasgow.

There would be two buildings — one with a convenience foodstore and three smaller units for a mix of uses and the other housing a coffee shop, with drive-thru, and another food/drink unit.

A planning statement submitted to Glasgow City Council explains: “The proposed neighbourhood centre development will serve the established and emerging resident population within the surrounding area, all of which is within easy walking or cycling distance of the proposed facility.

“The delivery of the development will help contribute towards the achievement of a 20-miniute neighbourhood for local residents.”

The application is pending assessment by planners.
