Layout Plan The applicant has supplied a copy of the layout plan for the premises updated with the proposed outdoor drinking area measurements. The pavement area abuts the A85 Trunk Road, the upkeep of which lies with Transport Scotland, who have approved the request for an outdoor drinking area. The Board may wish the outdoor area to be cordoned off (e.g. roped) when in use so that customers and staff are aware of the extent of the licensed area.
