Councillors have approved plans for a roof terrace on a historic beach house despite a plea from the great grandson of its original owners to stop the change.
Blair Dickson, who owns the lower half of the house, known as Seafield, which looks out onto North Berwick's West Beach, told a meeting of East Lothian Council's planning committee it was built by his great grandparents in 1897.
And he appealed to them not to allow the owners of the upper floors, Paul and Julie Harrison, to replace two dormer windows in the top of the three-story house with an L-shaped box dormer and balcony.
