Greenock Municipal Buildings (Image: Archive)
A BID to build a new house in the grounds of a Greenock west end property has been blocked by councillors.
The home was proposed for the garden at 58 Esplanade, beside North Street and Eldon Street.
Planning officials had originally turned down the proposal, saying it would not reflect the character of the area.
They also highlighted that the Greenock west end conservation area regime has a presumption against development within original plots.
An appeal was lodged against that decision, but now councillors on the Local Review Body have upheld the ruling.
