Plans to build student flats on the site of a fire-hit former Dundee furniture store could be approved next week.
A planning application was lodged with Dundee City Council in June seeking permission to erect a nine-storey accommodation block on Barrack Street.
The site was previously home to the derelict Willison House, which was Robertson’s furniture store for decades.

Willison House was demolished following a devastating fire in November 2022.
A decision will be made on the student accommodation plans at a planning committee meeting on Monday with councillors being recommended to approve the application.
Edinburgh-based KR Developments wants to deliver a 367-bed development that will be a mix of studio and cluster apartments, each with a lounge and kitchen area. A gym and a cycle storage space for up to 119 bikes are also planned.
