The owners of a dilapidated house on the main street of a conservation village have been praised for not 'razing it to the ground'.
John and Lisa Stewart lodged plans for a rear extension to the house on Pathhead Main Street, Midlothian, after discovering approved plans which came with the house did not work.
They said that after buying the property it became clear the extension which had been given the green light did not have enough headroom on the stairs or in the attic to meet Building Standards.
