A curry restaurant in Saltcoats has been allowed to set up a seated area for outdoor dining drinking, despite concerns that it could cause some issues in the community.
Curry on the Corner, known previously as the Corran Inn, asked last Monday's licensing board for provision of an outdoor area with 19 tables to help improve their business.
An objection to the plans came from a neighbour, who thought the property would be adjacent to her house, but it was in fact the furthest away.
