"Controversial proposals for a new coal-fired power station at Hunterston have been rejected by the local council.

"The decision has been welcomed by environmental campaigners who are now calling on the scheme's backers, Ayrshire Power, to abandon the plans.

"The firm has insisted it will fight on. More than 20,000 objections had been lodged with North Ayrshire Council.

"There will now be a public inquiry before a final decision is made by the Scottish government."
