PLANS have been refused to open a new a new Greggs at a train station in Glasgow.
The beloved bakery was not given permission to take over the previous Shelter unit in the middle of Central Station.
According to documents, the business wanted to fit out the property and put up new signs with the brand's logos.
A new entrance and built-in storage area would have also been created.
Glasgow City Council officials said they will not allow the development to go ahead because it would create an "obscure and inactive shopfront along one side of the unit and would not respect the appearance of the listed building".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
