PLANS to fill a Tollcross gap site with flats and ground floor commercial units have been drawn up.

Permission is being sought for a four-storey building at 1042 Tollcross Road.

There would be six flats over a retail unit anda hot-food takeaway.

There would be a terrace for residents at first floor level at the rear of the building.

A supporting statement included with the application argues: “This site has lain vacant for some considerable time and this [proposal] should be seen as an opportunity to encourage a well-considered design solution.”

The proposal by Cater Homes is pending assessment by Glasgow planners.
