A DEVELOPMENT of 32 flats has been approved for a site in Calton.

The Wheatley Group has been given permission to build the properties for mid-market rent on land bounded by Great Dovehill, Little Dovehill and Bell Street.

The site is currently laid out as a car park. Dovehill School and tenement properties were there until demolition in 1989.

The part six-storey, part four-storey building will contain 29 two-bedroom flats along with three one-bedroom flats designed for wheelchair users.

There will be three car parking spaces for the wheelchair accessible flats and two spaces for electric car club vehicles. A cycle space will be provided for every flat.

The application was passed by Glasgow City planners.
