The owners of the Balloch House Hotel are hoping to carry out a number of internal and external works to the building to "enhance the overall functionality whilst supporting the building’s long-term vitality".
They have submitted an application to the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority to refurbish the toilets on the first floor, install a new check-in desk and till, and make various changes to the kitchen which includes new equipment and workstations.
Meanwhile outside, owners Mitchells & Butlers are seeking permission to put a new fence in the Balloch venue's rear garden, remove the decking and replace it with a new slabbed garden area, install various new paths, and replace the building's signing.
In a planning statement submitted along with the application, they said: "The proposed works seek to ensure the public house will continue to be a vibrant destination, assisting in helping to retain and attract new patrons
"All works proposed have been subject to careful consideration and shall not have any adverse impact on any neighbouring properties, the natural environment, or otherwise.
"The proposals will not result in the loss or negatively impact upon the functioning of the pub, rather it will provide a refresh of the exterior of the building and its grounds, as well as a number of internal upgrades.
"The planning history demonstrates that previous works for minor external alterations and additions have been deemed acceptable, and this proposal builds upon that.
"The scheme simply looks to improve upon the current space on site to enhance the overall customer experience and in doing support the Balloch House’s long-term vitality and viability.
"It is proposed that the works would benefit the function of the pub, whilst preserving its appearance and use as a community facility.
"This has been achieved by adopting an appropriate design approach having due regard to the local character and context.
"The design is reflective of the high-quality nature of the Mitchells and Butlers’ approach to their estate, and the proposals will form an attractive, bespoke, and inviting environment."
