A bid to turn a private garden into a restaurant's outdoor eating area has been backed by East Lothian Council's planners despite local objections.
The owner of The Main Course, Gullane, has applied for a change of use of the domestic garden which belongs to the flat above their business, to an outdoor seating area for the restaurant.
Applicant Luciano Crolla owns both the flat and the restaurant business, and has lodged a retrospective application for the change of use for the area which first operated as a part of the business two years ago.
