A bid to turn a former bank building into a home has been rejected for a third time by East Lothian councillors despite the owner's claims it had become 'unsellable".
The former Royal Bank of Scotland branch, on North Berwick's Westgate, was bought for more than double the £225,000 asking price when it went on the market in 2018.
But attempts to gain planning permission to convert it into a home met local opposition and were rejected as planners insisted it should be retained as a commercial unit in the coastal town's busy centre.
