Balloch Library could be turned into four new homes under plans to transform the vacant site.

The facility was sold to a private company in November last year for £150,000 after West Dunbartonshire Council declared the building surplus.

Now, plans have been lodged to turn the building into four new flats.

Planning documents submitted to the local authority show the site being split into four adjacent homes.

Each home appears to have two bedrooms, a bathroom and an en-suite/

The single-storey homes are finished with an open-plan dining and living space.

More information can be found on the authority's planning portal.

Balloch Library was relocated to a school campus adjacent to Balloch and St Kessog's Primary.

The relocation, which was announced in October last year, caused backlash from parents and members of the local community who wanted to keep services the way they were.

The application is due to be considered by the council's planning committee at a later date.
