A plan which will see part of Glasgow's historic fish market demolished has been given approval by Glasgow City Counci.

The main Briggait building on Clyde Street in the Merchant City, which has already undergone redevelopment into a space for artists, will remain.

An extension will then be built on to the listed building allowing studios to be created for dance and physical performance.

The extension will take over a gap site next to the main Briggait building and will see a neighbouring listed building partially demolished.

The planning application has been made by Wasps Artists Studios and was approved by the council on August 5.

Despite the important historical significance of the site, no objections were received to the planning application.

It is the second stage of a cultural redevelopment of the area which began in 2009.

The Briggait was built in 1873 and remained a important fish market for the city until the 1970s.

In the 1980s the Briggait was redeveloped into a shopping centre but that closed and the site lay unused until 2009 when work began on transforming the main building into 69 workspaces for cultural organisations, five shop units for let to creative industries and a public space within the courtyard. The redeveloped site opened in 2010.
