Planners at Glasgow City Council have approved an application from Landsec, the owner of Buchanan Galleries, to make changes to one of the entrances. Planning documents stated the existing Buchanan Galleries façade and entrances present a “subdued and somewhat inward-facing aspect to Buchanan Street ”. The application added: “Primary pedestrian routes along the building are retained and, in places, widened to support two-way movement and reduce pinch points.”The wider plans for the transformation of Buchanan Galleries focuses on “turning an inward facing mall outwards”, the plans state. Landsec aims to create a “welcoming and safe civic space” at the top of Buchanan Street.
