Ambitious plans by Irvine Cricket Club ace Graham Owens to set up a vending machine business for fresh produce in Dreghorn had planning chiefs bowled over on Monday.
A Notice of Review was submitted for the change of use of Jarvie Plant, Corsehill Mount Road, Dreghorn to a retail outlet for the sale of fresh food and healthy farm milk from vending machines after the plans were initially refused by officers.
At its meeting on September 28, the Local Review Body agreed that a hearing be held before the review request was determined, to provide the applicant an opportunity to explain their views and provide information on why the application would not undermine the Council's town centre first principle.
