Proposals to turn a Prestwick church into a restaurant have been resubmitted.

The plans to alter the existing Bute Hall at 57 Main Street first came before South Ayrshire Council back in February . 

However, the application was withdrawn as they were incomplete, with details of a flue requiring to be added.

The property currently comprises a front lobby hallway, toilets, the main church hall, a kitchen, stalls and an office. 

The proposal is for a change of use from a hall to a public house with food and drink. 

Minor alterations to the front entrance are proposed by the applicant, with the addition of a flue.

Planning documents state: "This proposed development will bring back into use a site that has lain empty, and the proposed development will contribute to the local environment and the local economy.

"The proposed development will improve the current attractiveness of Prestwick Town centre by providing a much-needed addition to food and drink provision."

Plans show that the restaurant would have space for around 100 people. The full application can be viewed on South Ayrshire Council's planning portal.
