Cater Group will develop six flats above two retail units at 1042 Tollcross Road.

Designed by Neil Rothnie Architecture, the four-storey building will include a terrace for residents at first floor level at the rear of the building.

A similar proposal for the site, which specifically included a hot food takeaway outlet, was rejected last year.

A design document included with the application states: “This will bring use back to a derelict area of land which currently provides no economic aesthetic benefit to the local town centre.”

The hot food takeaway outlet is not included in the new proposals.
