Govanhill Baths get planning go-ahead
June 24, 2009
Govanhill Community Baths Trust has been granted planning permission to develop the Calder Street baths as a Wellbeing and Health Centre.
In announcing the breakthrough last night, Andrew Johnson, Trust Director said: ‘Another major hurdle was overcome today when Glasgow City Council’s Planning Committee formally granted planning permission for the Centre. The significance of this cannot be overstated. Apart from the symbolic status it gives the project, it means that applications to major funders can now be lodged with gusto and confidence – particularly to potentially major funders such as the Big Lottery.’
He went on: ‘This would not have happened without the ongoing support of many local people, particularly the Friends of Govanhill Baths. Certainly it would not have happened without the constant support and effort of NORD architecture who prepared and submitted the Planning Application.’
The £12.5 million project is anticipated to open in March 2011 – ten years after the building was closed amid great controversy locally.
