I am extremely disappointed at the inappropriate, plan to build a ten-storey student flat block on the former ABC site, in front of Glasgow's crowning architectural jewel, the Glasgow School of Art.

I am asking for the refusal of this application and urging for a revised design of reduced height that respects the architecture of Sauchiehall Street.

You can read my full statement of my reasons for objecting below.

[Niall Murphy @MurphyNiallGLA]

Sauchiehall Street is to be #Glasgow’s new Culture and Heritage District so at the pre-application consultations I urged @vitastudent to go and talk to @HeritageFundSCO and @glasgowlife about assisting retention of this symbol of Glasgow’s cinema heritage. Did they do this…🤔🤷‍♂️?

Zesty challenge to conventional thinking - making and telling history through song.
And how to write those songs? @tenementals Prof David Archibald describes long process - hard day’s nights with lots of humour and musical talent (as told to @MurphyNiallGLA @fay_young) #IGWCT
