East Lothian developer to pay £1.3m towards new school spaces

Developers building a new housing estate in an East Lothian village will pay £1.3 million towards additional primary and secondary school accommodation, under an agreement with the council.

Bellway Homes was initially granted planning permission for 86 houses and four flats on the western edge of Elphinstone in December.

The application came back to East Lothian Council's planning committee this week after council officers reviewed conditions under new national guidelines adopted under the Scottish Government's National Planning Framework (NPF4).
