St Andrews restaurant bids to keep outdoor seating

The South Street venue was one of a number of hospitality businesses which was allowed to serve food and drink outside during the pandemic.

Now it wants to make the facility a permanent feature. A planning application was lodged with Fife Council this week and consent given under the relaxed ‘Spaces For People’ rules expired.

The tables were placed immediately outside the premises - an 18th century three-storey townhouse -with pedestrians still able to use the widened footpath.

In May, the Adamson formally withdrew an ap-plication for outdoor seating.

Councillors will consider the new application in due course.
