AN APPLICATION to install plants as part of a bid to refurbish a Clydebank biopharmaceutical laboratory has been approved.

The proposal will see the installation of external plants and associated external enclosures at the Phoenix House site on South Avenue.

Applicants SGS Virology made the request in February and were given the green light last month with BMJ Architects expected to carry out work on the site.

The move is part of a wider refurbishment and extension to the lab.
