PLANS have been drawn up to demolish a high profile city centre building and replace it with student flats.
The National Farmers Union Mutual Insurance Society wants to demolish the eight storey former warehouse at the junction of Miller Street and Argyle Street, part of which is listed.
In its place it hopes to build a nine storey block with 130 student bedrooms suitable for converting in the future into office or hotel use.
But the plan is already facing a backlash and a campaign has been launched in a bid to save the building from the bulldozers.
A previous £12million plan to convert the building into a hotel, shops, cafe, restaurant, public house and rooftop sky bar, eventually fell through.
