The former Chivas Brothers HQ is set to be made available for development – with the site’s iconic main building not included in plans for the new Paisley Grammar School.Council chiefs believe the plot and its structures in Renfrew Road present an “opportunity” for fresh proposals in the form of an office block, residential accommodation or hotel project.Potential options have been drawn up in a development brief – a document identifying factors to be considered when preparing proposals for the land and its three buildings – which was recently approved by the planning board.A report introducing the brief said: “The former Chivas Brothers site off Renfrew Road presents an opportunity for new development proposals [or] uses following the closure of the Chivas operation on the site and the clearance and demolition of operational and ancillary buildings.“Three buildings remain on site including the category C-listed building of the former Chivas Brothers administration building, Kersland House and the gatehouse building.”Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
