TELEVISION personality Selina Scott has lost her battle to block floodlighting on a picture-postcard inn at a North Yorkshire moors village.
Ms Scott complained to the North York Moors National Park planning committee that the lights, which are already in place on The Moors Inn, Appleton-le-Moors, Kirkbymoorside, kept her and her family awake at night.
Her parents live directly opposite. The four floodlights were installed a year ago under the eaves of the 18th century pub, together with a hanging sign, to attract customers. Planning officers opposed the lights on the grounds that they created obtrusive glare and spoilt the building, but the committee approved both them and the sign.
