AN extension to a building at a Cowdenbeath industrial estate has now been approved.
As previously reported in the Times, the addition at Woodend Industrial Estate was built without planning permission.
A retrospective application was submitted by Patterson Diesel Ltd.
The company hadn't realised consent was necessary to extend warehouse units two to four, at block six, and install doors and rooflights.

The planning application has now been approved by Fife Council.
The decision notice states: “It would cause no detrimental impacts on the surrounding area in terms of road safety, amenity, flooding and drainage, contaminated land or natural heritage, whilst, the proposal, would be visually acceptable and in keeping with the surrounding Cowdenbeath Industrial Estate.
“The proposal subject to conditions, would therefore, be acceptable in meeting the terms of the development plan and national guidance.”
