A garden treehouse in a conservation area has been saved from demolition after Midlothian councillors dismissed objections saying it was "hardly high rise flats."
The timber cabin, which has its own climbing wall entrance and overlooks a private lane, was built in a sycamore tree in the garden of a Category-B listed home in Eskbank, Dalkeith.
But it was refused planning permission by Midlothian officials after planners branded it "intrusive" and raised fears it could set a precedent for the area.
