A 'neon pink' park advertising board and church signs are more of a distraction than solar panels on a roof in a conservation area, a homeowner has claimed.
Dalkeith residents Paul Shipp was refused planning permission to put solar panels on his home after Midlothian Council planners ruled three of them would be visible from the road.
But in an appeal to the local authority's Local Review Body next week, Mr Shipp argues that there are more distractions outside his home that would draw attention from his home.
