A developer has lost a council appeal to turn a former bank in Thornliebank into a takeaway as it is claimed there are already enough fast food outlets in the area.
Robinbrook Ltd wanted to change the use of the old TSB on Main Street, Thornliebank, but planning officials ruled the proposal would lead to too many takeaways.
The firm called for the decision to be overturned as there has only been interest for takeaway use during a six-month marketing campaign.
