Plans to extend a Dennistoun hostel have been withdrawn after neighbours raised fears over a potential rise in anti-social behaviour. The hostel, which has billed itself as a ‘boutique’ option for budget travellers, is used as temporary homeless accommodation, residents say. He also raised concerns about the proposed use of brick, rather than red sandstone, which would match the original building. They have raised concerns over the “effectiveness of the site’s current management,” he said, and “questioned whether the proposal would intensify a use that has already generated longstanding concerns”. The applicants, Galsey Enterprises, wanted to build a multi-storey extension to the existing hostel.
