Westpoint Homes wants to turn the Twomax offices on the corner of Old Rutherglen Road and Commercial Road into apartments, while also building more flats on the site.

The Southbank Child Centre would be demolished to make room for the new apartments.

The development aims to create 100 new one-, two-, and three-bed apartments.

A previous application was approved in 2017, with numerous conditions, which would see 92 apartments created.

It is hoped that the new application will deal with a number of those conditions.
