A PUB could open on the site of the former Odeon cinema in Glasgow city centre if city planners approve a proposal.

A planning application was submitted this week asking for permission to change the use of the former cinema on Renfield Street as a public house.

The building, which is a construction site, has been lying empty since 2006.

Over the past decade, proposals have been drawn up for a number of schemes behind the well-known art deco facade of the property but none have got off the ground.

A decision on the plan is expected by August 6.
