PLANS to extend a home near Douglas Bank Cemetery have been knocked back by Fife Council.
A planning application had been submitted for a single storey extension and a replacement detached domestic garage/gymnasium to the north side of Douglas Bank Lodge at Pattiesmuir.
A report by planners said the proposed front extension would "essentially cover" the whole principle elevation of the house.

Ruling that the plans should be refused, the report concluded: "The proposed large, front extension would be of a size and design which would have an adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the front, public elevation of the house.
"Whilst the replacement garage/gymnasium element of the proposals can be considered acceptable, the application cannot be partly approved and therefore the unacceptability of the proposed front extension results in this recommendation of refusal."
