Glasgow’s notorious Bellgrove Hotel could be partially demolished for flats

A notorious Glasgow hotel which housed homeless men in conditions described as “like a Soviet gulag” could be partially demolished under a new plan.

Flats would be available for “mid-market rent” — generally higher than social housing but lower than private rents. Wheatley Homes’ website states mid-market properties “offer alternative affordable housing for customers who work and who earn between £21,000 and £40,000”. The converted hotel would include 14 flats, with eight wheelchair adaptable properties. Plans reveal full retention of the Bellgrove was “never a truly viable alternative due to constraints around the footprint of the building”. However, the council has “strongly maintained that it should be retained in some form”.
