PLANS to turn former Dunfermline town-centre bar Sinkys into flats have been given the go-ahead. Michael Ranaldi, of Preston Crescent in Inverkeithing, has been granted permission with conditions by Fife Council to change the use of the premises on Pilmuir Street. The plan is turn the old bar into six apartments, each with two bedrooms, solar panels, the “latest energy-efficient installations” and cycle stores. As well as being acceptable in line with Fife planning policy, a report said: The proposal is compatible with the area in terms of land use, design and scale. Furthermore, no significant impacts would arise in regard to existing levels of residential amenity or road safety.
