Green lightfor food truckplan

Plans to base a food truck at a disused garage forecourt ihave been given the green light.

Phillip Pierotti wants to base his fast food trailer at 14 Ayr Road in Patna.

Blueprints lodged by Mr Pierotti’s firm, Doon Valley Catering, show that the unit will be based there permanently but will retain mobility for maintenance reasons.

East Ayrshire Council planners approved the bid with conditions that the permission will cease three years from the date of the decision notice.

The food truck has to be removed from the site by February 8, 2025. Planners say this is because “the development is of a temporary nature required in association with the establishment of a business.”

In addition, Mr Pierotti must provide at least one rubbish bin for customers while the snack bar is in operation in a bid to prevent littering.
