REVISED proposals for flats and commercial units at a Tollcross gap site have been approved.

City planners have given Cater Group Ltd permission to develop a four-storey building at 1042 Tollcross Road.

It will contain six flats above two retail units.

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

A design document included with the application stated: “This will bring use back to a derelict area of land which currently provides no economic aesthetic benefit to the local town centre.”

Officials refused permission for a similar development last year, although that application included a hot food takeaway outlet.
