A plan to sell an Ayr Common Good property to a local arts group for £1 without getting approval from the courts has been pulled.Objectors had criticised the sale of Darlington Church to Iris Arts CIC after it had leased the building to the group two years ago.Questions had been raised about a reported expert opinion which stated the council would not need to go to the courts to get permission to sell the property.But the report was withdrawn late on Monday, ahead of South Ayrshire Council's leadership panel meeting this morning.Iris Arts, a community interest company, won the race to lease the church on Main Street in 2019, after it set out an ambitious business plan which would have seen the building transformed into community arts hub.It
