A new bowling alley could be set to open at Silverburn Shopping Centre if a planning application gets the go-ahead.

The proposed venue on the first floor of the centre would also offer ice-free curling, pool tables and ‘duck-pin bowling’ – a variation on ten-pin bowling which uses a smaller ball and shorter pins.

It is understood the new leisure attraction would be located on the first floor of the centre on part of a site formerly occupied by Argos.

Eurofund Group have applied for planning permission to make internal alterations to a number of units to make way for the venture.

The bowling facility’s opening hours are still to be confirmed.

A cover letter lodged alongside other planning documents with Glasgow City Council states: “The proposed development will not have any adverse effect on residential amenity as the site is located within the shopping centre and there are no residential properties within close proximity.”

The ground floor parts of the units referenced in the planning application will remain as retail shops, while the first floor level is to be dedicated to leisure use.

The cover letter adds: “The proposed leisure use on the first floor is to enable a family oriented ten pin bowling to operate. As well as bowling, the unit is likely to provide pool tables, duck pin and ice free curling.”

Luxury car brand Polestar will also occupy part of the former Argos space
