The erection of a new building comprising eight residential flats and associated works could soon provide a much more pleasing view within a conservation area in Paisley.
Plans have been submitted for the site at 17 School Wynd, where a property has stood derelict for several years. The building has become a familiar sight to residents, surrounded by unsightly scaffolding and structural supports that have remained in place for a prolonged period.
If approved, the development would see the construction of a modern residential building containing eight flats, helping to bring life back to a neglected part of the conservation area while improving the overall appearance of the street.
The current condition of the property has long been a concern due to both its visual impact and the deterioration of the structure. The proposed works aim to replace the derelict building with a well-designed residential development that complements the surrounding historic environment.
Residents and interested parties can view full details of the proposal under planning application 26/0314/PP, which is available to view on the Renfrewshire Council planning portal.
The redevelopment of the long-standing derelict site could mark a positive step towards enhancing the character of School Wynd and restoring pride in this historic part of Paisley.
