The Fourways pub, in Mossblown’s Annbank Road, will be converted into two semi-detached properties after the proposals were approved.

The applicant, David Picken, sought change of use permission at the building so that he could transform it into two semi detached homes including “parking and boundary fences.”

A supporting statement from the agents, Mccolm Civil and Structural Engineers, said: “The proposal is to convert the existing public house and flat above to form two semi detached dwellings.

“The frontage will remain the same and retaining all the original features. Existing glazing will be upgraded to coincide with current Scottish Building Standards for thermal, acoustic and escape purposes.”
