Proposals to replace the shopfront of a casino and gaming centre in Ayr have been approved.

Luxury Leisure Ltd had applied for planning permission in February to make changes to the Admiral gaming centre in the High Street.

The proposed alterations included the removal of the existing shopfront and central entrance doors, which will be moved to the right hand side of the building. 

Planning documents stated that the changes would give a "traditional" feel to the building on the busy street. 

A supporting statement lodged with the application stated: "The proposed alterations include the removal of the existing dilapidated timber shopfront and central entrance doors.

"The existing timber pilasters are to be replaced/replicated with similar timber features including capitals and cornicing, painted grey.

"The main entrance doors will be moved over to the right hand side to assist with the internal operation of the gaming centre.

"The existing fascia signage is to remain. The upper area of the façade above the fascia signage will be rendered grey to match the shopfront generally.

"The new replacement full width shopfront allows for a new level access into the building from the right hand side of Admiral to assist with the internal operation of the gaming centre."

All deliveries and works on site will be executed out of normal working hours to minimise disruption.

No skips will be required as part of the works, with all building debris to be removed from site on a daily basis using builders' vans.

The application was approved by South Ayrshire Council planning officers, who stated works must begin within three years.
