PLANS to turn a former Indian restaurant in Cowdenbeath into a two-bedroom home and a small shop have been approved.
Mr J Singh sought permission for a change of use for the premises at 250 High Street.
It was latterly the Mussoorie Indian Restaurant but Fife Council have now given the go-ahead for the alterations, which includes an extension and some demolition work.
A report said the home would be like "a small studio flat" behind the shop unit.
It said: "The dwellinghouse, its associated garden ground/amenity area, and its single parking space off the lane, would otherwise be provided for by removal of the shed and a small rear outshoot, introduction of a small rear extension with patio doors, and new window openings facing over the lane towards the gable of the hairdresser's premises.

"In the round, it is expected the proposal would make a small contribution to the vitality and viability of the town centre."
