In Edinburgh, plans to convert the closed Super Wok Chinese takeaway into a two-bedroom home have been approved by the City of Edinburgh Council despite one objection regarding the loss of local jobs and potential overdevelopment concerns. Meanwhile, in Glasgow, former restaurants Daku and Charlie Brown's cocktail bar are set to be transformed into a six-bedroom guest house, with all rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and a small kitchen area for guests. The proposals for both sites comply with local development policies, emphasizing the aim to preserve the character of the areas while adapting to new uses. Additionally, a planning application has been submitted to Scottish Borders Council to subdivide the award-winning Caddon View Guest House to maintain its character while possibly increasing accommodation capacity. Lastly, Chandigarh's tourism department plans to convert unused government houses into guest houses to cater to the needs of tourists, especially medical visitors. These developments highlight a trend of repurposing commercial properties into residential or hospitality uses across various regions.
