The fate of a proposed Irvine Lidl store has still not been decided.
The local review body was set to meet this afternoon to consider the supermarket’s appeal over their plans to build at Crompton Way near the Stanecastle roundabout.
However, due to technical difficulties with the council’s latest broadcast system, the meeting was unable to be broadcast live.
Lidl requested the meeting be delayed until North Ayrshire Council’s Public-i broadcast system live feed was available.
This was agreed to by the local review body.
At a meeting of the local review body back in September Aileen Craig, the council’s senior manager, legal services, suggested the pre-examination meeting be broadcast live.
Ms Craig, said: “There is a new council system coming in at the end of the month called the Public-i system. The new system would not only record what is happening, but it would actually broadcast contemporaneously with the meeting itself.
“That would perhaps give members of the public an element of comfort that they are seeing things being determined as they happen, as opposed to looking at a recording.”
Planning permission for the store was turned down by council planners back in January.
