Plans for a multi-million pound leisure and retail development at Clyde Gateway, near Glasgow, have been approved by South Lanarkshire Council. Plans for the 268,000sq ft mixed use scheme include a nine-storey 170-room hotel, a nine screen cinema, restaurants and 50,000sq ft of sports retail space.

The proposed development will be built at the heart of the Clyde Gateway site, next to the route of the planned 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games Athletes’ Village and Velodrome. It is hoped that the proposal will help provide a lasting legacy for the area leading up to, and beyond, the Commonwealth Games. The Clyde Gateway initiative aims at tackling the economic decline in east Glasgow and South Lanarkshire.
