A private car park established at an East Lothian beauty spot has been given planning permission despite the council and landowner failing to agree on opening hours.
East Lothian Council's planning committee approved the car park, at Hopes Reservoir, agreeing a condition which will see it open four days a week.
However councillors expressed regret at not being able to persuade the landowner to open it longer or on Saturdays or change the permit policy which allows only 20 permits a month which have to be bought at a nearby village shop.
