Concern over a lack of school places has delayed a decision over a new housing estate after it was revealed plans for a new school had been delayed.
Midlothian councillors were asked to grant permission for 96 new homes on the edge of Gorebridge, on land which has been earmarked for housing in their own local plan for nearly 20 years.
But at a meeting of the planning committee today concerns about over-stretched schools and delays to additional facilities saw councillors defer a decision.
