Edinburgh brewery's pub plan refused over fear of disruption to neighbours

An Edinburgh brewery's plan to serve alcohol at its beer shop has been refused by the council after an upstairs neighbour complained there would be "no escape from the noise".

The Ferry Brewery's bid to open a pub in its store on South Queensferry High Street was thrown out by officials due to the "unacceptable impact" it would have on nearby residents.
