A bid to build houses on a former fly-tipping site have been rejected by Midlothian planners despite councillors giving a similar plan the go ahead last year.
The latest application for housing at the land at Barley Dean, near Rosewell, had proposed five new homes on the site.
However concerns about the remoteness of the new homes form public transport and services, as well as contamination on the land, saw planners refuse to approve the detailed plans.
