Planning committee

Decided by Renfrewshire Planning and Climate Change Policy Board on 25 Aug 2026. Earlier deferred on 26 May 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the vacant building could become a suitable home and the change would not prevent future medical use.
  • One objection said the former surgery should remain available for healthcare or wider community use.
  • The committee voted seven-seven, then refused the application after the Convener’s casting vote, citing local health provision and local living.
