Plans to turn an historic World War One laundry into holiday lets have been given the go-ahead despite being branded "embarrassing" and a "stain on the sensibilities" of local residents.
The owners of the Category B listed house Auburn in Dirleton, East Lothian, lodged plans to extend the property and replace the laundry building at the back of the property with two holiday apartments.
However the design of the new building sparked a storm of protest from local residents with one community councillor calling the design "a cuboid from another planet."
