Solicitor Gordon Emslie said that in the time that his clients have been offering home deliveries there had been no problems.

He added that the shop serves a small part of Bo'ness and "it's not a huge part of their business".

The board's convener, Provost Robert Bissett, said that he was happy to grant the "straightforward" application and this was supported by other members.
