An appeal has been launched after a bid to turn a Barrhead cafe into a Chinese takeaway was turned down by council planners.
The applicant, Amy Li, asked East Renfrewshire Council for permission to convert an empty unit at 196 Cross Arthurlie Street, but planning officials rejected the proposal.
They decided too many takeaways in the area would have a “significant impact on residential amenity by means of odour nuisance, noise and disturbance”.
