OFFICIALS at Glasgow City Council have given the go-ahead for nearly 80 homes to be built in the second stage of a Dundashill development.
Plans have been rubber-stamped to allow 62 three-bedroom terraced houses and 16 four-bedroom properties - along with a communal garden - to be constructed.
They are part of a massive project which will ultimately see 600 homes built on the site of the former Diageo distillery.

A design document states: “The proposals reflect the ambitions of Bigg Regeneration and will continue to build on the commitments already realised at Dundashill to promote this as an emerging canalside, distinctive, urban living quarter.
“There is a strong belief that high quality, crafted architecture will greatly enhance this site.
“Bigg Regeneration is proposing to deliver housing that responds to the daring and distinctive character of this emerging new place."
Each new home will have a back garden and roof terraces, while there will also be private parking and additional visitor spaces spread across the development to allow for easy access.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
