NEW homes on the site of a former primary school in the Govan area of Glasgow have been given the go-ahead.
Linthouse Housing Association received planning permission from the city council to build 49 homes on Shieldhall Road for social rent.
They asked Glasgow City Council for permission to change the use from primary school site to residential development. They also want to demolish the majority of the existing school building.

Drumoyne Primary School previously occupied the site but it closed in 2010. The school merged with the neighbouring Elder Park and Pirie Primary to become Pirie Park Primary.
The school building has also fallen into a state of significant decline due to neglect and a fire in 2016.
City planners gave the move the go-ahead on July 29 subject to conditions.
