A restaurant owner who installed strip lights to a glass extension has won his fight to keep them despite planning officers describing them as harmful to the building and surrounding area.
Stirling Stewart, who owns The Rocketeer in North Berwick, said he believed the LED lights, which were installed six years ago when the extension was added to his restaurant, had planning permission.
And at a virtual meeting of East Lothian Council's planning committee today he apologised to members for the mistake.
