A home-owner has been told his new garden fence has won a reprieve - after re-painting it green
David Soar appealed to Midlothian councillors to overturn the decision by their planners to refuse permission for his fence which they said stood out as a prominent and "somewhat stark" feature in the Dalkeith street where he lives.
The applicant said in his appeal that he had repainted the fence which initial photographs showed as a reddish colour to a green hue.
