The application sparked over 100 objections
A care home company’s bid to build on a bowling and tennis club site in Glasgow’s West End has been rejected again.
Northcare claimed the home, at Anniesland Tennis and Bowling Club, would have provided “much needed accommodation for the ever increasing elderly population, allowing them to live their lives with dignity and independence with specialist assistance at hand”. Bailie Patricia Ferguson, Labour, added: “It seems to me that the applicant doesn’t meet the requirements in terms of open space and I think what we actually have is a number of packages of smaller areas put together in order to try and come up to the figure that is required.However, cllr Maureen Burke, Labour, moved that the application should be approved.
She added: “When you look at the investment that is being put into the area and the jobs that would be created, it isn’t just about the care home, it’s about what that can provide on a wider scale.”
