GD467/3/1/   1976 SMG: Glasgow branch: 534 Sauchiehall St. planning.
A huge bundle of paper. The Council refused the change of use for social purposes, but, as far as I can see, before there was a Local Appeal Hearing of th Secretary of State, Glasgow District accepted a second planning application. Various enforcement orders were made by Glasgow.
