A cafe in Glasgow’s Southside has launched a new bid to offer shisha smoking — after enforcement officers previously stopped the practice.They claim shisha smoking was rolled out earlier this year as the applicant was “unaware that this addition was not covered by the café consent”.
A retrospective bid to run the shisha bar was refused in November 2020 before plans for a cafe, described as a coffee and dessert bar, were approved in December last year. It accepted planning consent is required for the change but added it is “entirely understandable that the applicant should have erred in this matter as smoking and vaping are permitted within the cafe use”.
It stated shisha cafes are “in many respects” the “cultural equivalent of public houses with the added advantage that they do not generate the anti-social behaviour associated with drinking”. Speaking at the time, Cllr Jon Molyneux said the venue was “akin to a nightclub” and there had been reports of anti-social behaviour, including potential drug use, drug dealing and violence.
