Fife Council planning officer Alistair Hamilton told the north east planning committee that the application was considered acceptable, as it still left more than 2m of pavement at the site.

The town’s community council urged refusal due to the impact on residents an outdoor seating area would have, and that it would be difficult to monitor the 9:00 pm curfew for outdoor seating.

The planning report noted that the area is in the town centre where the addition of three outdoor tables would not have a massive impact.

Councillors unanimously approved the application.
