FIFE Council has refused a plan to create a cafe at Cantsdam, near Kelty.
Mr John Day had asked the local authority for consent to change the use of the house at The Dairy, Cantsdam, to a cafe, with alterations to vehicular access.
However, council planners refused the application, with the reasons being: "In the interests of safeguarding the countryside from inappropriate and unjustified uses; and the development is not for the extension of an established business.
"Also in the interests of road safety; the proposal would result in the intensification of use of an existing access onto an unrestricted distributor road outwith an established built up area, such arrangements increasing turning manoeuvres which conflict with through traffic movements and so increase the probability of accidents occurring."
