More than 120 people have signed a petition calling on a community council to oppose a planning application before it has even been lodged.
A meeting of Gullane Area Community Council last night heard a petition against renewed plans to remove 48 trees which survived Storm Arwen to make way for a house on land in the East Lothian village was one of two signed by locals.
And community councillors were urged to back the views of people who signed the petitions, with a spokesperson urging them to act 'in the best interests' of the community.
