Search the Public Notice PortalA POPULAR Irvine restaurant has been given the go-ahead for plans to create a new beer garden.
Amended proposals from Gulab in Irvine have now gained approval from North Ayrshire Council.
It follows a change in the intended location of the outdoor area, which would contain three tables, after objections were received from neighbours about the previously intended site.
Documents supporting the application explain: "It is our client’s intention to formalise and upgrade an area to the front of the main building as indicated on the accompanying plans.
"[This will] ensure maximum levels of privacy for both the users and any potentially overlooking neighbouring properties, whilst leaving the existing enclosed area to the side as a secure ‘play area’ for younger children.
"Staff will also personally supervise both areas periodically."
Proposals had previously sought to create the beer garden in an area to the south of Stanecastle Road restaurant adjacent to parcel lockers - which have now been formally approved as part of the application.
Concerns over disturbance which would be caused were noted by planners though were determined not to be a planning consideration.
Documents explaining the decision added: "As a result of objections received, the application was amended to re-locate the proposed beer garden to the front of the building, where it would be furthest away from the nearest houses.
"The applicant has advised that the tables would be available for use during times when meals are being served, and not at other times. He has stated that his main objective is to provide an opportunity for customers to eat meals outside, rather than being primarily a drinking area.
"Any unacceptable noise or anti-social behaviour which is experienced by neighbouring residents can be reported to environmental health service for investigation under their powers.
"There are no other material considerations. In conclusion, the application accords with the development plan and planning permission should therefore be granted."
The Gulab now plans to gain licensing approval for the area at the next meeting of the licensing board on June 8.
