Plans to turn a former Grangemouth pub into a shared house with 16 bedrooms have been rejected by Falkirk Council's planning committee due to concerns about parking and traffic.
The Ellwyn, 95 Newlands Road, Grangemouth, faced a string of reports about anti-social behaviour and "chaotic management" which eventually led to its licence being suspended in 2020 before later closing for good.
Owner Amran Ali, who also runs the shop that is currently in the ground floor of the building, had hoped to develop the upper floor into an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation).
