A couple from Midlothian could be forced to demolish their dream £600,000 mansion after falling foul of planning laws.
David and Dawn Allan built a huge villa in their hometown of Gorebridge. They applied for permission for the development in 2018 after flattening an existing building on the site.
They submitted plans to Midlothian Council and started construction work after being given a building warrant. But they claim to have been left stunned when they were refused retrospective planning and told the warrant had been issued in error.
