Midlothian MSP Colin Beattie has stepped in to support a landlady ordered to rip out new UPVC windows by the local authority.
The owner of the flats at 130 High Street, Dalkeith, said she replaced 16 'deteriorating' wooden window frames with UPVC as a ‘as a matter of urgency’ to protect her tenants' 'health'.
However the property is a Category B listed building and Midlothian planners insist the new windows need to be taken out and replaced with a "like for like" alternative.
