Former Nitshill post office
PLANS to convert a former Nitshill post office into a takeaway have been refused as nearby homes would not be protected from cooking odours.
Glasgow councillors voted against Amjad Ismail’s proposal to change the use of the building at 345 Nitshill Road.
It had been recommended for refusal by council officers.
A decision had been delayed from a meeting in March after councillors requested more information.
An update from the council’s environmental health team revealed that the proposed low-level extraction “should not be sited within 20m of residential properties”.
“The proposal contravenes the 20m standard and the low-level extraction is considered to be insufficient to protect residential properties from cooking odours.”
