Plans for new Glasgow city centre nightclub refused

Cova had been seeking permission to turn the former pub at 57 West Regent Street into a nightclub.

The B-listed property is currently on the buildings at risk register. Most of it is vacant, with the applicant the only occupier in the building.

However, council planning officials rejected the proposals, arguing that operating past midnight would have an adverse impact on neighbouring properties and that it went against the development plan.

The plans would have seen the nightclub open until 4am.
