Station master s house, Clarkston THE decision to reject plans to demolish the old station master’s house in Clarkston and build four shops has been upheld following an appeal. Councillors on East Renfrewshire’s planning committee turned down the application in October last year, even though council officers said the proposal could be approved as the building is not listed. Applicant Sabah Hassan’s agent appealed the decision but a reporter, appointed by Scottish Ministers, did not overturn the ruling. Her verdict on the Busby Road site will be reported to councillors at a meeting today. Four reasons were given by councillors for the refusal, which included their belief the scheme would have an “adverse impact” on the “vitality and viability” of Clarkston and would see “an historic building” knocked down.
