An application to turn a former railway station master's house into retail units has been refused. Developers behind the proposed development, in Busby Road, Clarkston, hoped to demolish the property after describing it as 'beyond repair.'

However, residents claimed replacing it with four retail outlets would 'tip the balance' between the East Renfrewshire suburb remaining a 'desirable residential area' to being 'polluted and noisy.'
