A bid for planning permission for the alteration and extension of Il Posto at Mar Hall, as part of a wider masterplan to elevate the resort into a “world class destination”, has been granted subject to conditions by Renfrewshire Council.

The significant project will lead to the formation of an expanded restaurant and bar on the upper floor and golf club facilities and toilets on the lower floor.

That's according to a design, access and heritage statement - prepared by architectural company Unwin Jones Partnership as part of the application - which outlined the extent of the works and included artist’s impressions.
