FLATS are being proposed for the site of a former 1920s cinema in Dennistoun.

McKernan Homes Ltd have applied to build 24 two-bedroom apartments on vacant land at Meadowpark Street/Marne Street, near Alexandra Parade. The Parade Cinema opened there in 1921.

The Meadowpark Street side of the site

There would be two four-storey blocks, one on each side of the site, with parking and landscaping in between.

Each flat would have cycle storage and 14 car parking spaces would be provided.

Marne Street

A document submitted with the application states: “The proposed development would contribute towards the creation of a vibrant and accessible residential neighbourhood. The proposal would see the development of a vacant plot which is in poor condition.”

The proposal is pending assessment by Glasgow City planners.
