PLANS to replace a Glasgow bowling club with a care home have been submitted.

Applicant Morrison Community Care has proposed to build the new facility on Anniesland Road, near its junction with Helensburgh Drive.

The site is currently home to Yarrow Recreation Club, which has served locals in Anniesland Road for 77 years.

As the Glasgow Times reported previously, the applicant hopes to buy the disused bowling green and tennis lawn, for a token fee of £1, so the club can stay viable and continue to be used.

According to documents, the building would be L-shaped, with two community green spaces and 12 parking spots.

A bid for a different care home from a separate company, on a nearby site, was refused in April, as the reporter said the "proposed development does not accord overall with the relevant provisions of the development plan and that there are no material considerations which would still justify granting planning permission".

This application is currently pending consideration and a decision is due to be made by Friday, July 28.

Comments can be made until Thursday, July 6.
