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.
The planning application submitted by the brewery, labelled "evasive" by one of its objectors, stated it was seeking a change of use of the listed building from class 1 'shop' to a class 3 'food and drink' - which does not cover the consumption of alcohol.
