The longest-running empty unit in Aberdeen's Union Street could finally be brought back to life.

The former Budz Bar site has been vacant for almost 17 years, with last orders called at the nightspot in 2007.

The Press & Journal says Alpha Bravo Investments, run by Allan Smith and Bruce Porter, is behind the scheme to give the 419 Union Street address a new lease of life.

Building papers submitted to the council price the major overhaul at £480,000.

Budz Bar could be resurrected with cocktail bars, a pizzeria and entertainment venues.

The plans take in the ground floor facing the Granite Mile, basement level accessed by Justice Mill Lane and upper levels.

Under the scheme, the old Budz Bar would be resurrected with cocktail bars, a pizzeria and entertainment venues on the upper floors.

According to design images, the firm would name the new venue Glitch if the proposal is approved.

There are plans to wrap the building in LED screens with changing light patterns.
