KILMARNOCK'S brand new board game café has applied for planning permission retroactively six weeks after making changes to its building.

Dice Grounds installed a galvanised steel roller shutter covering its shopfront window and adjacent doorway without initially seeking permission.

After a pre-application discussion with East Ayrshire Council's planning officer, the applicant has now formally submitted an application.

The application was submitted on April 17 and validated on April 21.

In the application, the applicant explained that he was unaware that planning permission was needed for installing the shutter.

The café, known for its tabletop games, continues to operate from 2 Croft Street.

The area of the site remains 117 square metres, with no alterations to public paths, vehicle access, or existing parking arrangements.

To view the application in full, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under the reference 26/0184/PP.
