A Falkirk canalside bar and bistro could be transformed into two holiday homes if planning permission is granted.The change, however, would require scrapping a legal agreement that was put in place by Falkirk Council when planning permission was first granted to Bridge 49 Cafe Bar & Bistro.The bistro - on the the banks of the Union Canal, close to Muiravonside Country Park and the spectacular Avon Aqueduct - was built on grazing land and opened in May 2013.
