Council planners have recommended the first phase of the arcade's redevelopment can be approved, however almost 200 people have opposed the plan.
A hearing will be held before Glasgow councillors decide on a major plan for over 300 homes on the Shawlands Arcade site.
Cllr Ken Andrew, the planning committee chairman, said: “We’ve had a number of requests that we have a site visit and a hearing. I would like to propose that we do that.” She raised concerns over the intention not to include a 25% social housing requirement. “We are effectively kicking that down the road to some undefined point in time when the council has a policy on it,” she said.
In total, 186 objections have been sent to the council, including from Pollokshields councillors Zen Ghani, Jon Molyneux and Norman MacLeod as well as Shawlands and Strathbungo Community Council and tenants’ union Living Rent. The ‘Build to Rent’ development, which would range from five to 14 storeys, would have a “central plaza” and a children’s play area. It includes 14 studios, 166 one-bed, 145 two-bed and four three-bed flats.
In response to objections, planning officials reported the site is in “an area of high accessibility” so “a reduction in the residents car parking requirement of one space per dwelling can be justified”.
