ANOTHER request to keep a long-running Port Glasgow flats plan alive has been agreed by council officials, 13 years after the development was first approved.
Twelve apartments are proposed for the site of fire-damaged premises and a yard last used by a glazier at 3 Highholm Street.
Inverclyde Council originally agreed to the principle of having flats there in 2013. The council extended that permission in 2017, 2020 and 2023.
Planning consent has now been renewed again for a further three years.
Officials stated that they believe replacement of the damaged building would be to the benefit of the surrounding area and character in Highholm Street, adding: “There are no circumstances which now result in the proposal being unacceptable.”
An application for detailed planning consent would also still need to be submitted as designs for the building have yet to be put forward for approval.
