The potential impact of a new Costa in Dumbarton on businesses in the town’s east end is set to be scrutinised as part of an appeal against the refusal of planning permission.
Costa, which already has stores on High Street and at Lomondgate, had permission for a new drive-thru store in the car park of Morrisons on Glasgow Road refused by councillors last year.
However, it appealed the decision to the Scottish Government.
